On this tutorial, we work with Microsoft’s OpenMementos dataset and discover how reasoning traces are structured by blocks and mementos in a sensible, Colab-ready workflow. We stream the dataset effectively, parse its special-token format, examine how reasoning and summaries are organized, and measure the compression offered by the souvenir illustration throughout totally different domains. As we transfer by the evaluation, we additionally visualize dataset patterns, align the streamed format with the richer full subset, simulate inference-time compression, and put together the information for supervised fine-tuning. On this means, we construct each an intuitive and technical understanding of how OpenMementos captures…

Weiyao Wang spent eight years at Meta — his first job out of faculty — serving to construct multimodal notion programs and contributing to open-world segmentation tasks, together with SAM3D.

On this tutorial, we construct a complicated hands-on workflow with the Deepgram Python SDK and discover how trendy voice AI capabilities come collectively in a single Python surroundings. We arrange authentication, join each synchronous and asynchronous Deepgram purchasers, and work straight with actual audio knowledge to know how the SDK handles transcription, speech era, and textual content evaluation in observe. We transcribe audio from each a URL and an area file, examine confidence scores, word-level timestamps, speaker diarization, paragraph formatting, and AI-generated summaries, after which lengthen the pipeline to async processing for quicker, extra scalable execution.
