The founding team of Snorkel AI has spent over half a decade—first at the Stanford AI Lab and now at Snorkel AI—researching data-centric techniques to overcome the biggest bottleneck in AI: The lack of labeled training data. In this video Snorkel AI co-founder Paroma Varma gives an overview of the key principles of data-centric AI development. What is data-centric AI?…
Showcasing Liger—a combination of foundation model embeddings to improve weak supervision techniques. Machine learning whiteboard (MLW) open-source series In this talk, Mayee Chen, a PhD student in Computer Science at Stanford University focuses on her work combining weak supervision and foundation model embeddings that improve two essential aspects of current weak supervision techniques. Check out the full episode here or…
A primer on active learning presented by Josh McGrath. Machine learning whiteboard (MLW) open-source series This video defines active learning, explores variants and design decisions made within active learning pipelines, and compares it to related methods. It contains references to some seminal papers in machine learning that we find instructive. Check out the full video below or on Youtube. Additionally, a…
Utilizing large language models as zero-shot and few-shot learners with Snorkel for better quality and more flexibility Large language models (LLMs) such as BERT, T5, GPT-3, and others are exceptional resources for applying general knowledge to your specific problem. Being able to frame a new task as a question for a language model (zero-shot learning), or showing it a few…
In this paper, accepted at ICLR 2022, Chris and team at Stanford outline a new principled evaluation framework for comparing slice detection methods, then introduce a new technique motivated by our discoveries that outperforms existing methods by double digits.
This paper describes TAGLETS, a system built to study techniques for automatically exploiting all three types of data and creating high-quality, servable classifiers
We are honored to be part of the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR) 2022, where Snorkel AI founders and researchers will be presenting five papers on data-centric AI topics The field of artificial intelligence moves fast! This is a world we are intimately familiar with at Snorkel AI, having spun out of academia in 2019. For over half a…
Presenting Trove, a framework for weakly supervised entity classification using medical ontologies and expert-generated rules.
This paper proposes a universal technique that enables weak supervision over any label type while still offering desirable properties, including practical flexibility, computational efficiency, and theoretical guarantees.
