laserembeddings VS Kornia

You're pretty much right on the money. For ParaCrawl[1] (which I worked on) we used fast machine translation systems that were "good enough" to translate one side of each pair to the language of the other, see whether they'd match sufficiently, and then deal with all the false positives through various filtering methods. Other datasets I know of use multilingual sentence embeddings, like LASER[2], to compute the distance between two sentences.

Both of these methods have a bootstrapping problem, but at this point in the MT for many languages we have enough data to get started. Previous iterations of ParaCrawl used things like document structure and overlap of named entities among sentences to identify matching pairs. But this is much less robust. I don't know how they solve this problem today for low-resource languages.

I've been using LASER from Facebook Research via https://github.com/yannvgn/laserembeddings to accept multi-lingual input in front of the the domain-specific models for recommendations and stuff (that are trained on English annotated examples).

Kornia: Differential Computer Vision\ (3 comments)

Kornia - Kornia is a differentiable computer vision library for PyTorch. It consists of a set of routines and differentiable modules to solve generic computer vision problems. At its core, the package uses PyTorch as its main backend both for efficiency and to take advantage of the reverse-mode auto-differentiation to define and compute the gradient of complex functions.

Between "not being sure yet" about GPU operations in pre-processing and choosing high-end CPUs, I think you are overthinking the wrong alternative. Besides DALI, check whether you are using codecs besides nvidia/torchvision-supported jpeg and png, and if other GPU CV libraries meet your needs: torchvision kornia

Use kornia.augmentation where this problem is solved doing the augmentations in batch outside the dataloader. https://github.com/kornia/kornia
