Intelligent Assistant Language Understanding On-device
Machine Learning Research at Apple
SEPTEMBER 10, 2023
It has recently become feasible to run personal digital assistants on phones and other personal devices. In this paper, we describe a design for a natural language understanding system that runs on-device. In comparison to a server-based assistant, this system is more private, more reliable, faster, more expressive, and more accurate. We describe what led to key choices about architecture and technologies.

All About Sample-Size Calculations for A/B Testing: Novel Extensions and Practical Guide
Machine Learning Research at Apple
SEPTEMBER 10, 2023
While there exists a large amount of literature on the general challenges and best practices for trustworthy online A/B testing, there are limited studies on sample size estimation, which plays a crucial role in trustworthy and efficient A/B testing that ensures the resulting inference has a sufficient power and type I error control. For example, when the sample size is under-estimated the statistical inference, even with the correct analysis methods, will not be able to detect the true signific

CityDreamer: Compositional Generative Model of Unbounded 3D Cities
Hacker News
SEPTEMBER 10, 2023
In recent years, extensive research has focused on 3D natural scene generation, but the domain of 3D city generation has not received as much exploration. This is due to the greater challenges posed by 3D city generation, mainly because humans are more sensitive to structural distortions in urban environments. Additionally, generating 3D cities is more complex than 3D natural scenes since buildings, as objects of the same class, exhibit a wider range of appearances compared to the relatively con

Improving NeRF quality by progressive camera placement
Hacker News
SEPTEMBER 10, 2023
Neural Radiance Fields, or NeRFs, have drastically improved novel view synthesis and 3D reconstruction for rendering. NeRFs achieve impressive results on object-centric reconstructions, but the quality of novel view synthesis with free-viewpoint navigation in complex environments (rooms, houses, etc) is often problematic. While algorithmic improvements play an important role in the resulting quality of novel view synthesis, in this work, we show that because optimizing a NeRF is inherently a dat

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
Speaker: Scott Sehlhorst
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
