TL;DR: This document outlines the underlying design of Lingvo and serves as an introduction to the various pieces of the framework, while also offering examples of advanced features that showcase the capabilities of the Framework.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thick film laser induced forward transfer for deposition of thermally and mechanically sensitive materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a thin polymer absorbing layer was used to dissipate shock energy through mechanical deformation, and multiple mechanisms for transfer as a function of incident laser energy were observed and viable and contamination-free deposition of living mammalian embryonic stem cells.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Multilingual Speech Recognition with a Single End-to-End Model
Shubham Toshniwal,Tara N. Sainath,Ron Weiss,Bo Li,Pedro J. Moreno,Eugene Weinstein,Kanishka Rao +6 more
TL;DR: This model, which is not explicitly given any information about language identity, improves recognition performance by 21% relative compared to analogous sequence-to-sequence models trained on each language individually and improves performance by an additional 7% relative and eliminate confusion between different languages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isocost Lines Describe the Cellular Economy of Genetic Circuits.
Andras Gyorgy,José I. Jiménez,José I. Jiménez,John Yazbek,Hsin-Ho Huang,Hattie Chung,Ron Weiss,Domitilla Del Vecchio +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that when expressed from the same plasmid, the combinations of attainable protein concentrations are constrained by a linear relationship, which can be interpreted as an isocost line, a concept used in microeconomics.
