You can either fine-tune the model or filter the response from whisper

``` text = "helo helo hello ." target_phrase = "ترجمة نانسي قنقر" replacement = ""

updated_text = text. Replace(target_phrase, replacement)

print(updated_text) ```

How is this overfitting, rather than a data quality / classification issue?

If the model was able to generalise, you’d expect it to output something like “[silence]” or “…”, in response to silence. Instead, it reverted to what it has seen before (in the training data), hence the overfit.

It's actually because it is incapable of recognising when it does not know the answer. It will give you the nearest match, even if that is completely incorrect.

What's insane is copyright. How come you can own intellectual property but not pay a property tax? The ecosystem would be much healthier if to get copyright protections you should declare value of your IP (that you are obligated to sell for if the buyer pops up) and pay tax on this for every year you hold the IP.

> if to get copyright protections you should declare value of your IP (that you are obligated to sell for if the buyer pops up) and pay tax on this for every year you hold the IP I think this would have some unpalatable consequences. Let's say an author is writing a modestly successful book series: it's not going to make them rich, but it's commercially viable and they care a lot about it for its own sake. Under this…

You are always free to update the value before paying tax. If somebody is willing to pay more than it's worth to you they probably have an idea how to turn it into more economic value for the society. So the society should allow them to do that. For a price, of the tax. What I'm proposing is about the financial rights. Individual right, like the right to call yourself author of any given creation should be inalienable.

There are always some cases on the edge. The question is if saving them is worth the cost of the major players running rampant.

Fair, if AI companies are allowed to download pirated content for "learning", why ordinary people cannot.

There is so much damning evidence that AI companies have committed absolutely shocking amounts of piracy, yet nothing is being done. It only highlights how the world really works. If you have money you get to do whatever the fuck you want. If you're just a normal person you get to spend years in jail or worse. Reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GptobqPsvg

No, if you revolutionize both the practice and philosophy of computing and advance mankind to the next stage of its own intellectual evolution, you get to do whatever the fuck you want.

Seems fair.

Hm. Not a given that it's an advance.

In Russian it often hallucinates "Субтитры сделал DimaTorzok" ("Subtitles by DimaTorzok") at the end of things. Interestingly, I wasn't able to find any YouTube videos with that name in the subtitles, so it's not like it's in a lot of training data.

I tried googling this and found questions from Telegram users why voice messages recognition sometimes produces this phrase and who is this person. Also I found this thread [1] claiming that the subtitles by DimaTorzok are coming from some Russian youtube videos on gaming like [2].

Yeah, I know about this from Telegram, because they use Whisper for voice message recognition. There are a bunch of other artifacts it often produces.

SRT is ancient. Nowadays everyone uses ASS subtitles which can be randomly styled.

WebVTT (a SubRip successor) is probably more widely used than ASS

By legit providers, probably.

Is this spam? That name only shows as an instagram account and this thread. If you pay for insta followers is this how they get them now? Haha

That’s the name in the Arabic text hallucinated by the model :)

This person refers to the German television and radio fee (Rundfunkgebühren).[1] It is a state-mandated system that ensures free (as in free speech) and (relatively) neutral public broadcasting institutions. There is a constant and engaged discussion, because every household in Germany has to pay this fee. Exceptions are made only for low-income households. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARD_ZDF_Deutschlandradio_B…

A constant discussion, lately fueled by extremist parties (AfD) who feel treated unfairly by (amongst others) the public broadcasters (which has parallels to Trump's recent campaign against public broadcasters in the US).

Can't argue them - Tageschau always has been trashtalking people with the wrong opinion.

Back in 2011, Tageeschau openly rallied against Muslims and wanting public broadcasting gone was a leftist position. The whole thing is completely asinine to anyone who remembers.
