thatsadude commented on DSPy – Programming–not prompting–LMs   dspy.ai/... · Posted by u/ulrischa

I've seen a couple of talks on DSPy and tried to use it for one of my projects but the structure always feels somewhat strained. It seems to be suited for tasks that are primarily show, don't tell but what do you do when you have significant prior instruction you want to tell?

e.g Tests I want applied to anything retrieved from the database. What I'd like is to optimise the prompt around those (or maybe even the tests themselves) but I can't seem to express that in DSPy signatures.

You can optimize prompt with MIPROv2 without examples (set the max number of examples to 0)

My go to framework. I wish we can use global metrics in DSPy, for examples, F1 score over the whole evaluation set (instead of a single query at the moment). The recent async support has been life saver.

I’m disappointed. Nobel price for neural network architects that failed the test of time..

Well more deserving than the author of Restricted Boltzmann machine.

I don't get it. Arbitrary linear combinations are already accommodated via feed forward. What am I missing?

True, that's a yellow flag for me.

I had a few problems with DSPy:

* Multi-hop reasoning rarely works with real data in my case. * Impossible to define advanced metrics over the whole dataset. * No async support

That plastic dish (parabolic reflector) is not cheap.

What is the current SOTA for voice->text?

I have a recording I've been sitting on for 2 years(a guest lecture which a friend recorded) which contains a very heavy amount of background noise, where you can just barely make out what is being said by the lecturer. I wonder if there is any hope I will ever be able to read a transcript from it.

I can figure out what the lecturer is saying (maybe only because I have some context about what he is talking about), but it is too painful to sit through 2 hours of it and try to transcribe it.

I tried uploading the audio file to this service, but basically get nothing useful returned to me.

Recent ASR models are already robust to noise due to Spec augment and large-scale data. If you use these noise reduction services to remove noise, ASR models will have harder time to recognize denoised audio. The reason is that noise reduction will create distortion which ASR didn't see during training.

20 years from now, the future generation will laugh at how delusional some tech guys think that "text generation could be and end to humanity".

This was so cool, I really want to see this (and thermal, and...) integrated into devices so we get the full tricorder thing going on.

I hadn't considered acoustics being a whole class of use case for maintenance, but imagine if we had one of these in our pockets how much better our built environment would get, since everyone would be able to see issues & point them out. Visualizing the invisible is a powerful way to get change.

Also that train wheel example was a real missed opportunity to say 'squeaky wheel gets the oil'.

You can buy a USB microphone array and create one yourself. - https://pysdr.org/content/doa.html - https://www.minidsp.com/products/usb-audio-interface/uma-16-...
