Co-ML: Collaborative Machine Learning Model Building for Developing Dataset Design Practices

Machine Learning Research at Apple

Machine learning (ML) models are fundamentally shaped by data, and building inclusive ML systems requires significant considerations around how to design representative datasets. Yet, few novice-oriented ML modeling tools are designed to foster hands-on learning of dataset design practices, including how to design for data diversity and inspect for data quality.

Investigating Salient Representations and Label Variance Modeling in Dimensional Speech Emotion Analysis

Machine Learning Research at Apple

Representations from models such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and Hidden units BERT (HuBERT) have helped to achieve state-of-the-art performance in dimensional speech emotion recognition. Both HuBERT, and BERT models generate fairly large dimensional representations, and such models were not trained with emotion recognition task in mind.

Large-scale Training of Foundation Models for Wearable Biosignals

Machine Learning Research at Apple

Tracking biosignals is crucial for monitoring wellness and preempting the development of severe medical conditions. Today, wearable devices can conveniently record various biosignals, creating the opportunity to monitor health status without disruption to one's daily routine. Despite the widespread use of wearable devices and existing digital biomarkers, the absence of curated data with annotated medical labels hinders the development of new biomarkers to measure common health conditions.

User-level Differentially Private Stochastic Convex Optimization: Efficient Algorithms with Optimal Rates

Machine Learning Research at Apple

We study differentially private stochastic convex optimization (DP-SCO) under user-level privacy where each user may hold multiple data items. Existing work for user-level DP-SCO either requires super-polynomial runtime or requires number of users that grows polynomially with the dimensionality of the problem. We develop new algorithms for user-level DP-SCO that obtain optimal rates, run in polynomial time, and require a number of users that grow logarithmically in the dimension.

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.
