Abstract: a method for automatic speech recognition using joint acoustic echo cancellation, speech enhancement, and voice separation includes receiving, at a contextual frontend processing model, input speech features corresponding to a target utterance. the method also includes receiving, at the contextual frontend processing model, at least one of a reference audio signal, a contextual noise signal including noise prior to the target utterance, or a speaker embedding including voice characteristics of a target speaker that spoke the target utterance. the method further includes processing, using the contextual frontend processing model, the input speech features and the at least one of the reference audio signal, the contextual noise signal, or the speaker embedding vector to generate enhanced speech features.

Abstract: methods, systems and apparatus for correcting a result of a quantum computation. in one aspect, a method includes selecting a quantum error correcting code for the quantum computation, wherein the quantum error correcting code is defined by multiple stabilizer generators; determining a set of symmetry operators, comprising: selecting a subset of the stabilizer generators, determining, for each selected stabilizer generator, a sum between an identity operator and the stabilizer generator, and multiplying the determined sums together to form a summation of terms, wherein each term in the summation is equal to a respective symmetry operator; measuring a projective correction of a physical observable over an output quantum state of the quantum computation using the determined set of symmetry operators, wherein the physical observable corresponds to the result of the quantum computation; and determining a corrected result of the quantum computation using the measured projective correction of the physical observable.

Abstract: throughput is preserved in a distributed system while maintaining concurrency by pushing a commit wait period to client commit paths and to future readers. as opposed to servers performing commit waits, the servers assign timestamps, which are used to ensure that causality is preserved. when a server executes a transaction that writes data to a distributed database, the server acquires a user-level lock, and assigns the transaction a timestamp equal to a current time plus an interval corresponding to bounds of uncertainty of clocks in the distributed system. after assigning the timestamp, the server releases the user-level lock. any client devices, before performing a read of the written data, must wait until the assigned timestamp is in the past.
