Mastering Data Normalization: A Comprehensive Guide
Data Science Dojo
MARCH 27, 2025
Data normalizationsounds technical, right? But at its core, it simply means making data normal or well-structured. Now, that might sound a bit vague, so lets clear things up. But before diving into the details, lets take a quick step back and understand why normalization even became a thing in the first place. Think about itdata is everywhere. It powers business decisions, drives AI models, and keeps databases running efficiently.

( Dylan Foster and Alex Lamb both helped in creating this.) In thinking about what are good research problems, its sometimes helpful to switch from what is understood to what is clearly possible. This encourages us to think beyond simply improving the existing system. For example, we have seen instances throughout the history of machine learning where researchers have argued for fixing an architecture and using it for short-term success, ignoring potential for long-term disruption.

Exploring Prediction Targets in Masked Pre-Training for Speech Foundation Models
Machine Learning Research at Apple
MARCH 13, 2025
Speech foundation models, such as HuBERT and its variants, are pre-trained on large amounts of unlabeled speech data and then used for a range of downstream tasks. These models use a masked prediction objective, where the model learns to predict information about masked input segments from the unmasked context. The choice of prediction targets in this framework impacts their performance on downstream tasks.

When Does a Predictor Know Its Own Loss?
Machine Learning Research at Apple
MARCH 9, 2025
Given a predictor and a loss function, how well can we predict the loss that the predictor will incur on an input? This is the problem of loss prediction, a key computational task associated with uncertainty estimation for a predictor. In a classification setting, a predictor will typically predict a distribution over labels and hence have its own estimate of the loss that it will incur, given by the entropy of the predicted distribution.
