Hirundo

🐦⬛ Humans of Hirundo: Introducing Ben Lewis, our Head of Integrations 🐦⬛ 💻 Why Hirundo? "As one of the first employees, I saw an opportunity to shape the company's direction and make a tangible impact while working on meaningful technical problems.” 🥾Off the clock: “I enjoy bouldering at local climbing gyms and hiking through Israel’s trails, particularly through rivers and waterfalls. I also love traveling to new towns, cities, and countries, where I can explore and capture unique moments with my camera". Just as Ben tackles challenging routes on the climbing wall, he approaches complex coding problems at Hirundo with the same determination.  We're excited to see what new heights he'll help Hirundo reach next!

🐦⬛ Humans of Hirundo: Meet our Chief Scientist & Co-Founder, Emeritus Prof. Oded Shmueli 🐦⬛ With a distinguished career as the former Dean of Computer Science and Executive VP at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Oded has brought his expertise and vision to Hirundo. He has also collaborated in the past with industry giants like IBM, HP, AT&T, and more.” 🔬 On joining the team: "Alongside the team, the dual promise of enhancing AI model performance and tackling complex technical challenges drew me to Hirundo's mission. Throughout my academic career, I sought ways to make a tangible impact on the industry. Hirundo gave me the opportunity to do so at scale, after becoming an Emeritus Professor.” 🏊 After hours: Oded likes to spend time with his family and friends, swimming and playing bridge. Glad to have you on our leading team, Oded.

🐦⬛ Humans of Hirundo: Get to know Misha Michael Leybovich, our CTO & Co-Founder 🐦⬛ 💡 Why Hirundo? "I joined my co-founders to build Hirundo because I’m driven by solving complex problems. Our focus has always been on delivering deep, innovative solutions to long-standing challenges in AI, with the belief that there’s a much better way to tackle these issues." 🧗 When not coding: “I enjoy climbing and playing the piano, as well as taking time to relax and recharge with the people close to me.” Michael's insights drive us forward. Excited for what's next on our shared journey.

🐦⬛ Humans of Hirundo: Introducing our Junior Full-stack Developer, Tamir Dishi 🐦⬛ Welcome Tamir, recent IDC computer science graduate and Hirundo's latest talent acquisition. 🤖 On choosing Hirundo: "When Misha (Michael Leybovich) told me what Hirundo was up to, it reminded me of some tough challenges I learned in my Machine Learning courses, and I was instantly intrigued. Plus, after hearing about how professional the team is, I knew this would be the perfect place to kick off my career—learning from the best and working with an awesome group!" 🍔 After work: “I’m guilty of staying up way too late watching trashy reality shows, constantly trying (and failing) to get into a workout routine, and catching up with friends over a good burger and beer.” 🐦 A fun fact Ben Luria has insisted on not omitting: Tamir once played basketball with Justin Bieber! Justin, if you’re reading this, we’re hiring.

The Future of AI Might Be About Forgetting Catch Hirundo's Ben Luria on Designing Futures (Ep. 9) discussing: - Why AI needs to unlearn - Making models more efficient - The path to ethical AI A must-listen for anyone interested in the future of technology 🎧 https://lnkd.in/dgSXf67Z Thanks to Designing Futures - Exploring AI, Data, Architecture and Beyond for the opportunity to speak about our work, and to Melanie Rozencwajg and Nathalie Rozencwajg

*פוסט בעברית - אבל עם סיבה טובה* קהילת הדאטא סיינס בישראל מכירה ברובה את רובושאול - דאטאסט של 40 שעות הקלטה ותמלול של שאול אמסטרדמסקי במסגרת הפודקאסט (בסדר, הסכת) "חיות כיס". הפרויקט שימש לתחרות של שכפול קולו של שאול, ומאז מהווה בסיס לאימון מודלי טקסט-לאודיו ואודיו-לטקסט בעברית. אבל מה אם הדאטאסט בעצמו כולל טעויות, לעתים משמעותיות? איך זה משפיע על הביצועים של מודלים שאומנו על גביו? Tomer Raviv, חוקר דאטאסיינס אצלנו, ניתח את הדאטאסט של רובושאול בדיוק מסיבה זו. בעזרת הפלטפורמה של הירונדו, מצאנו 10% טעויות בתמלולים האוטומטיים בדאטאסט, ו-1.5% טעויות בתמלולים הידניים. החלק הכי טוב? הטכנולוגיה שלנו עובדת על כל שפה שתבחרו - עברית, ערבית, מנדרינית, אנגלית, איך שאומרים בלעז "יו ניים איט". 🌎 כל מסקנות המאמר, וההפניות לטעויות שנמצאו בתמלולים, פתוחות לציבור הרחב ולקהילת הדאטא סיינס בישראל לקריאה: https://lnkd.in/dpaWRBQ8 אילוסטרציה: כאן 11

Proud to have presented our work at Hirundo and how it contributes to the defense of liberal democracies at the Future Forces Demo Day last week. We've shown how our platform increases the accuracy of AI models and datasets used in defense applications in vision and radar systems, as well as multilingual speech-to-text. As AI is gaining dominance in national defense, it is crucial more than ever that models will rely on the must trustworthy data, and make the most accurate decisions. The conference, organized with the support of the Royal Air Force (RAF), British Army, UK Space Command alongside Primes like Northrop Grumman, L3Harris Technologies, BAE Systems and many more, was a one-of-a-kind (seriously) opportunity to connect with the industry and share insights on best practices. Kudos Richard Pass and Nick Cowley on this great event!
