Tools to Improve Training Data - Talking Language AI Ep#2
Vincent Warmerdam builds a lot of NLP tools (https://github.com/koaning). Many of these tools target the scikit-learn ecosystem and there's a theme of labeling across many of them. A recent focus of his stack of tools is to improve training data. In this video, Vincent and Jay discuss a few of these tools and show how they work together.
These tools are discussed in the video:
- Human-learn: a toolkit to build human-based scikit-learn components
- Doubtlab: a toolkit to help find doubtful labels in data
- Embetter: A library that makes it very easy to use embeddings in scikit-learn
- Bulk: a library that uses embeddings to leverage bulk labeling
The talk includes live demos for each and to show how some simple tricks can go a long way.

Steamship Fellowship for Language AI at Writing Atlas - Airtable
Steamship is building a platform to put Language AI in the hands of all developers. Plympton is partnering with Steamship on a fellowship program to explore the intersection of tech & literature.
You’ll join a two-month-long fellowship in which we’ll coach you through building new features for Writing Atlas. We’ve planned each feature for a smooth development experience, and the results will be something you can show off in production.
Open Call – bb15
bb15 art space is seeking proposals for its 2023-2024 program around the open-ended theme of friction. Friction is against sameness, the continuum, the immediate. An emerging friction defeats expectations, questions the agreement and is itchy. Frictioning implies resistance, going against a certain motion. bb15 is looking for projects that bring tension, distortion and counter-current into the flow of things.
