“Brilliantly put like if you this is okay if there's a lesson in this don't reduce your company into a metric of like how much like you said how much how much people watching the videos and so on and like convince yourself that everything is working just because the numbers are going up Something you have to have a vision. You have to Have to want people to love your stuff because love is ultimately the beginning of a successful long-term company is that they always should love your product.”

“There's no overarching dictator type of human that says, why the hell are we neglecting Steve Jobs type of character? There's people that we need to speak to the people that want to love our product and they don't. Let's fix that shit.”

“There's literally people that are screaming their new YouTube studio, for example. There's like features that were begged for for a really long time, like being able to upload multiple videos at the same time. That was missing for a really, really long time. Now, probably things that I don't know, which is maybe for that kind of huge infrastructure, it's actually very difficult to build some of these features. But the fact that that wasn't communicated and it felt like you're not being heard, like I remember this experience for me and it's not a pleasant experience. And it feels like the company doesn't give a damn about you. And that's something to think about. I'm not sure what that is. That might have to do with just like small groups working on these small features, on these specific features.”

“It's a weird thing. I sometimes think about this for somebody who wants to also build a company. I think about this. YouTube, the service is one of the most magical, like I'm so grateful that YouTube exists. And yet, They seem to be quite clueless on so many things like that everybody is screaming them at. Like it feels like whatever the mechanism that you use to listen to your quote-unquote customers, which is like the creators, is not very good.”

“The documentation is pretty good. Most of the things that the API makes available is pretty good. It's just that in the sense that it's accurate, sometimes outdated, but like the degree of explanations with examples is only covering, I would say, like 50% of what's possible. It just feels a little bit like there's a lot of natural questions that people would want to ask that doesn't get covered. And it feels like it's almost there like it's such a magical thing. Like the Maps API. YouTube API. There's a bunch of”

“But even the API documentation and so on, like it's super outdated. I don't even know what to, I mean, the same criticism, as long as we're ranting. Same criticism goes to the APIs of most of these companies like Google, for example. The API for the different services is just the documentation is so shitty. It's not so shady. I should actually be, I should exhibit some gratitude. Okay, let's practice some grad”

“Although AWS kind of does a shitty job of like, I'm continually surprised, a mechanical turk, for example, how shitty the interface is. We're talking about Rev making me feel good. Like when I first discovered mechanical turk, The initial idea of it was like it made me feel like Rev does, but then the interface is like, come on. Why is it so painful? There's nobody at Amazon want to seriously invest in it. It felt like you could make so much money if you took this effort seriously. And it feels like they have a committee of like two people just sitting back like a meeting. They meet once a month. Like, what are we going to do with mechanical turquoise? It's like two websites make me feel like this. That and Craiglist.org, whatever the hell it is. Feels like it's designed in the 90s”

“Know is one of those like CVPR type papers that people do like a really tiny data set. It didn't feel like people really tried to do it seriously. Yeah, I wonder. I wonder if there's information in the fixing that provides deeper set of signal than just like the raw data.”

“The dip, but the date is there, that'd be interesting, almost like a recurrent neural net for fixing transcripts. I always remember we did segmentation annotation for driving data, so segmenting the scene, like visual data. You can get all so it was drawing people drawing polygons around different objects and so on. And it feels like it always felt like there was a lot of information in the clicking, the sequence of clicking that people do, the kind of fixing of the polygons that they do. There's a few papers written about how to draw polygons like with recurrent eural nets. Try to learn from the human clicking. But it was just like experimental.”

“This whole thing, okay, cool. So, can you speak to the ASR a little bit more? Like, what is it, uh, What does it take approach wise, machine learning wise? How hard is this problem? How do you get to the 3% error rate? Like what's your vision of all of this?”

“Yeah, I was trying to do it programmatically too. Is there an API interface you can? I was trying to through Python to download stuff automatically, but then I realized this is the programmer in me. Like, dude, you don't need to automate everything in life flawlessly because I wasn't doing enough captions to justify to myself the time investment into automating everything perfectly.”

“One click, the one click That's genius right there. Like, that is so important for services. Simplicity, and I mean Rev is almost there. I mean, there's like some. Trying to think so, I think I stopped using this pipeline, but Rev offers it and I like it, but it was causing me some issues on my side, which is you can connect it to like Dropbox. It generates the files in Dropbox. So it closes the loop to where I don't have to go to Rev at all and I can download it. Sorry, I don't have to go to Rev at all and to download the files. It could just like automatically copy them.”

“By the way, it used to be a dollar per minute for captioning and transcription. I think it's like $1.15 or something like that. It's pretty cool. That was the other thing that was surprising to me. It was actually... Like the cheapest thing you could one of, I mean, I don't remember it being cheaper. You could on upward get cheaper, but it was clear to me that that's going to be really shitty. Like you're also competing on price. I think there were services that you can get similar to Rev kind of feel to it, but it wasn't as automated. Like the drag and drop, the entirety of the interface. It's like the thing we're talking about. Such a huge fan of like frictionless Amazon's single Buy button, whatever.”
2021-01-04 · Lex Fridman Podcast · #151 – Dan Kokotov: Speech Recognition with AI and Humans · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“And actually, Rev offers automated, like you can actually just do the automated captioning. So I guess it's like way cheaper, whatever it is, whatever the rates are.”

“Would you say that so YouTube, when I upload videos, often generates automatic captions? Are you sort of from a company perspective, from a tech perspective, are you trying to beat YouTube, Google? It's a hell of a Google, I mean, I don't know how seriously they take this task, but I imagine it's quite serious. Google is probably up there in terms of their teams on. ASR or just NLP natural language processing different technologies. So, do you think it can be Google?”

“So, what's that captioning transcription process look like for the ever? Can you maybe speak to that to give people a sense like how much is automated, how much is manual? What's the actual interface look like? All that kind of stuff.”

“Yeah, it's kind of interesting through the captioning process for me to learn about the revers because Some are clearly weirdly knowledgeable about technical concepts. You can tell by how good they are at Capitalizing stuff, like technical terms, like in machine learning and deep learning. Used Rev to annotate to caption the At MIT, and it's funny, like a large number of them were like, I don't know if they looked it up or were already knowledgeable, but they do a really good job”

“Can kind of talk to this gig economy idea. I did a bunch of different psychology experiments on Mechanical Turk, for example. I've asked to do different kinds of very tricky computer vision annotation on mechanical turk and it's connecting Connecting people in a more systematized way, I would say, you know, between task and You call that worker is what mechanical third calls it. What do you think about this world of gig economies, of there being a service that connects? Customers, to workers in a way that's like massively distributed, like potentially scaling to it could be scaled to like tens of thousands of people, right? Is there something interesting about that world that you can speak to?”

“There's something else to the story of Rev finding Rev? Like, what did it take to bring it to life? Was there any pain points?”

“Yeah, Russian language, they play with words much more. So you were mentioning that Rev was kind of born out of trying to take a vertical and upwork and then standardize it.”

“Remember any experiences and challenges to having to do the translation that stick out to, like something he's talked about?”

“Complicated, but I feel like it's worth the effort for certain kinds of people, one of whom I'm confident as a Vladimir Putin I'm for sure talking to. I really want to make it happen because I think I could do a good job of it. But the right understanding the fundamentals of translation is something I'm really interested in. So that's why I'm starting with the actual translators of Russian literature because they understand the I goes back and forth. But I also want to see in speech how can we do it in real time. So that's a little bit of a baby project that I hope to push forward. But anyway.”

“And my Russian is not strong enough to be witty and funny. I'm already a nitty in English. I'm an extra level of awkward idiot in Russian, but I can understand it, right? And I also wonder, how can I create a compelling English-Russian experience for an English speaker? Like if I, there's a guy named Grigori Perlman, who's a mathematician who obviously doesn't speak any English. So I would probably incorporate like Russian translator into the picture, and then you'll be like, uh, not to use a weird term, but like a three-person thing where it's like a dance of where I understand it one way, they don't understand the other way, but I'll be asking questions in English. I don't know. I don't know.”

“No, I don't. First of all, I'm allergic to the word brand. I'm definitely not building any brands in Russia. Nice. But I'm going to Paris to talk to the translators of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. There's this famous couple that does translation. And I'm more and more thinking. Of how is it possible to have a conversation with a Russian speaker? Because I have just some number of famous Russian speakers that I'm interested in talking to.”

“Just drop it. I dropped in the audio and it just cleans everything up really nicely. All the stupid, like the mouth sounds and sometimes there's background sounds due to the malfunction of the equipment. You can clean that stuff up. It has general voice denoising. It has like automation capabilities where you can do batch processing and you can put a bunch of effects. I mean it just I don't know everything else sucked for like voice based cleanup that I've ever used. I've used audition Adobe Audition I've used all kinds of other things with plugins you have to kind of figure it all out you have to do it manually. Here it just worked. So that's another one in this whole pipeline. It just brought joy to my heart. Anyway, all that to say is Rev.”

“And then it comes back like a day later or two days later the hell it is with the captions in all in a standardized format. I don't know. It was truly a joy. So I thought I had, you know, just for the hell of it talk to you. One other product just made my soul feel good. One other product I've used like that. Is for people who might be familiar is called Isotope RX. It's for audio editing. And, like, that's another one where it was like.”

“Cruel That seems to be the case, unfortunately. Obviously, I'm a huge fan of suffering. So one of the reasons we're talking today is that a bunch of people requested that I do transcripts for this podcast and do captioning. I used to make all kinds of YouTube videos and I would go on. Would hire folks to do transcription. And it was always a pain in the ass, if I'm being honest. And then I don't know how I discovered Rev. But when I did, it was this feeling of holy shit, somebody figured out how to do it just really easily. I'm such a fan of just When people take a problem and they just make it easy. Know like just. So many, it's like there's so many things in life that you might not even be aware of that are painful. And Rev, you just like give the audio, give the video. You can actually give a YouTube link.”

“No, I have not. It's one of my biggest regrets, especially because the new movie is coming out. Everyone's super excited about it. It's ridiculous to say, and sorry to interrupt, is that I used to play the video game. I used to be Dune. I guess you would call that real-time strategy. Right.”

“You get it, use code lexpodcast. Cash app lets you send money to friends, buy Bitcoin and invest in the stock market with as little as one dollar. I'm thinking of doing some conversation with folks who work in and around the cryptocurrency space, similar to artificial intelligence. There are a lot of charlatans in the space, but there's a lot of free thinkers as well, technical geniuses that are worth exploring ideas with in depth and with care And I think it's pretty clear that cryptocurrencies here to stay. Bitcoin just hit 32,000 dollars.”

“Is something I struggle with quite a bit because it feels like standing on the edge of a cliff hoping to fly. I want to keep my mind and heart open, fragile, but it seems that the world can too easily destroy such a mind, and so I wonder if I'm able to face such challenges. Perhaps the choice isn't mine to make, perhaps it's already been made. Anyway, this podcast season looks just one heated competition in the space of the game in my view is not one that makes for a better world. Listen to the latest season of business wars TikTok versus Instagram on Apple Podcast, Spotify, or listen ad free by joining Wandery Plus in the Wanderer app just in general I highly recommend Wandery.

This conversation is not sponsored by the guest. It probably goes without saying, but I should say it anyway, that you cannot buy your way onto this podcast. I don't know why you would want to. I wanted to bring this up to make a specific point that no sponsor will ever influence what I do on this podcast. Are to the best of my ability influence what I think. I wasn't really thinking about this, for example, when I interviewed Jack Dorsey, who is the CEO of Square that happens to be sponsoring this podcast, but I should really make it explicit.

I previously talked to the head of Adobe Research for the same reason. For me, there's a bunch of products, usually software that comes along and just makes my life way easier. Examples are Adobe Premiere for video editing, isotop RX for cleaning up audio, auto hotkey on Windows for automated keyboard mouse tasks as an ID for everything including the universe itself.

“The following is a conversation with Dan Kokodov, VP of Engineering at Rev.ai, which is by many metrics the best speech detect AI engine in the world. Rev in general is a company that does captioning and transcription of audio by humans and by AI. I've been using their services for a couple years now and planning to use Rev to have both captions and transcripts to some of the previous and future episodes of this podcast to make it easier for people to read through the conversation or reference various parts of the episode since that's something that quite a few people requested. I'll probably do a separate video on that with links on the podcast website so people can provide suggestions and improvements there.
