Data — the Silver Bullet to Code-Switch Speech Recognition

With the development of the Internet and globalization, people's daily language communication is often mixed with other languages, such as: "我的IPAD不能下载APP了,可以陪我去APPLE store修理一下吗? (My IPAD can't download this APP, can you accompany me to the APPLE store to repair it?)” , “明天就是deadline了,我的paper还没有ready。 (Tomorrow is the deadline, my paper is not ready.)”, "老板的schedule需要调整,麻烦你check一下你得email。(The boss's schedule needs to be adjusted, please check your email.)” ...

MagicData R&D Center New Findings —Conversational datasets showed BETTER performance

  • Compared with the open source speech data - MagicData with manual annotation and expert proofreading, under the same model, the word accuracy rate is increased by 33%

Does Speech Recognition Applications Perform Better than the Human Ear?

In recent years, with the development of artificial intelligence technology, the performance of speech recognition application has been significantly improved. Many companies claim that the accuracy rate of speech recognition technology has reached more than 98%. Has the performance of speech recognition exceeded the human ear? There is something more need to be discussed before we making the final conclusion.

What Determines the "Character" of an AI Robot?

Recently, according to the ‘Washington Post’ report, Blake Lemoine, a software engineer at Google, said that Google's artificial intelligence chatbot LaMDA (Language Model for Dialogue Applications) already has ‘consciousness’ and even a ‘soul’. One of the signs that distinguishes humans from other species is that people think that they are conscious, and consciousness is a choice made by human for the world. If AI really has consciousness, then human beings are possible to be taken over by AI robots some day.

Environmental Adaptation of Voice Assistants

Voice assistants have been playing a more and more important role in our life. However, sometimes a smart voice assistant indoors may become "dumb" when it is used in outdoor environment. Just like us humans, the voice assistant gets panic when it arrives in a new environment. People tend to be more nervous and cautious when communicating in a non-native environment. Humans are uncomfortable with things they are not familiar, not to mention artificial intelligence algorithms. The voice assistant need to adapt to different domain, which is called transfer learning, an important but difficult problem in speech recognition, speech synthesis, speaker recognition and other speech fields.
