We are proud to provide a platform for Israeli companies leading the field of innovation, and to share with you the impressive achievement of the Israeli company aiOla, operating in the field of Speech to Text technology. 🗣️💬 Professor Yossi Keshet, Chief Scientist, Associate Professor in the Faculty of Electrical & Computer Engineering, and a concurrently appointed Professor in the Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences, presented a groundbreaking development of a new AI model called Whisper-Medusa. This model combines aiOla's technology with OpenAI's Whisper model, thereby improving the speed of automatic speech recognition by more than 50% without compromising accuracy. How is this done? aiOla's model is able to predict 10 tokens (data units) simultaneously, while OpenAI's original Whisper model predicts only one token at a time. Professor Keshet explains that in traditional industries, such as medicine, existing transcription systems  are not adapted to recognize words from professional jargon. aiOla is working to bridge this gap  through advanced AI tool solutions that ensure full recognition and integration of jargon words into existing systems. In doing so, the company enables traditional industries to rely on accurate data for more efficient management of interfaces and manpower, using the most advanced AI technology. This development is another expression of Israeli innovation in the field of artificial intelligence. Israel is among the world leaders in this field, with the Technion ranked as the leading institution in Europe this year according to the CSRankings index. 💡 We congratulate aiOla on this achievement and wish them continued success in the future. 👏🏻 Watch the comparison video of OpenAI's Whisper with and without Medusa: https://lnkd.in/eBwReDzv Yossi Keshet aiOla Technion-The Faculty of ECE (The Andrew & Erna Viterbi Faculty of Electrical & Computer Engineering) Technion - Israel Institute of Technology Yael Segal-Feldman Aviv Shamsian Aviv Navon Gill Hetz

#StartupNationCentral - a non-profit promoting #Israelitechnology - has launched a great marketmap of Israeli defense companies and startups. The map features over 160 companies, as well as thematic accelerators and investors. You can share it with your friends or save it for yourself. How to use the map: 1. Companies are grouped by themes, and in this case, marked by their focus (pure defense or civilian use as well). 2. Identify the groups that resonate with you, select a logo, and start your research. 3. If a company interests you, follow them and relevant employees on LinkedIn and try to establish contact.

Over the past decade, I have reviewed over 1,000 cv's in search for the best team members to join our team. I see a lot of people in Israel in need of jobs these days so sharing some tips from my experience as a manager and Organizational Psychologist that I hope can be helpful. If you have any questions or additional insights, please feel free to comment below or pm me. I divided the job-seeking journey into 4 stages: 1. Self-reflection 2. CV building 3. Networking 4. “Dating” your future boss In this post I will cover some pointers for the first 3 stages. Next post will cover pointers for the last stage. *Self-reflection* 1. Self-reflection and understanding what you are good at and what you are passionate about. 2. Who are you - Need to be able to answer this in 2-3 lines at the top of the CV. Are you a manager and looking to be in a leadership role or more of a hands-on executive? Is your focus marketing/sales/coding/project management? Pro tip: Ask your friends to be honest with you and share the value they see you bring. It will crystalize your own view as well. *CV and LinkedIn profile* 1. CV building - how does your future boss know you are great at what you do? What success and impact did you have that you can articulate with numbers? 2. The design is great. But the most important is the content. Make sure clear description in the header what you do and keep it short, with bullet points and a 1-pager. Make sure no mistakes. If there is even 1 typo, it is a no-go. 3. Passion talks. Years ago I hired a young man with very little experience because he came with great passion and told me how he taught himself code at age 11. See how you can find that story that highlights your greatness. *Networking* 1. Networking and asking friends for an intro or to put in a good word. Identify 10 people you will have coffee with to brainstorm your career. Some will give you great advice. Others will give you a good lead. 2. Don't only think about networking with those who can give you the job today but rather with those who know people that can help you. 3. The best way to build trust is to show your work in action. I once hired someone because he reached out and explained to me in a loom video why one of my client websites stinked and how that can be fixed. He didn't tell me what he does but showed me. What tips have you found as a manager that you would give future employees?

Israel is and continue to be a global leader in #innovation and #technology. "Robotics could be 'the next wave of #AI,' or at least that is the recent projection given by Jensen Huang , the CEO of NVIDIA . He spoke at a conference in Taiwan about the next frontier of AI and specifically mentioned humanoid robots and self-driving cars." "Israel is a hub for robotics tech companies, with 170 companies pioneering the development of robots in diverse sector" according to Startup Nation Central. As mapped by its Startup Nation Finder, "the sector distribution shows that 33% of the Robotics companies address Industrial Technologies. 23% of robotics companies work in Agrifood Tech. Health Tech represents 19% of the companies; Aerospace and Defense – 9%." * Thanks to Guy B. for his post about this in Italian. #startups

The AI Accelerator is blessed with leading entrepreneurs and researchers who WIN prizes and grants 🏆 Road2 Haifa would like to congratulate Firewave and its founder Evgeny (Jenia) Yurkovsky who has received a grant from the Israel Innovation Authority רשות החדשנות. We're very happy to see a founder receiving the well-desreved recognition from the Israeli Innovation Authority. It's a great opportunity to elaborate in short (-; on Firewave to make you see what the IIA knows now about the importance of adapting and improving resilience to forest fires. Wildfires, intensified by climate change and urban expansion into wildlands, pose a growing global threat. Wildfires in the US have become 2.5 times more prevalent compared to the 80's but our solutions haven't changed much since then. They cause hundreds of billions of dollars in annual damage, adversely affect human health, lead to species extinction, and significantly contribute to total CO2 emissions. From the perspective of our customers and users, particularly businesses like summer camps and resorts or communities which are located in Wildland-Urban Interface areas, utility companies and government agencies, wildfires represent a critical, immediate danger to safety, economics, property, and environmental sustainability. Firewave is a wildfire management solution through proactive early detection using an IoT / sound sensors network, leveraging cutting-edge technology to prevent minor fires from becoming catastrophic events. We wish you success in each and every milestone. Yaakov Diminsky Rami Gazit Shilo Ohayon #environment #safety #innovation
