Yes, this is a discussion forum, so while you're welcome to pose ethical questions, you should also feel free to weigh in on them too ;) It's a challenging question. Is it the mere…

A speech recognizer is not an "AI".

The first author's an independent scholar so I don't think that's right.

I have the same set-up: SomaFM (and a Pi with an external hard disk) and three Squeezeboxes all in sync.

If I may, there's no real reason to break out ACL vs. NAACL vs. EMNLP, since they're all run by the ACL and one would be hard-pressed to say how the EMNLP community might differ fr…

I have been doing this for a long time, and FreeDB's metadata is way, way worse than MusicBrainz's, and has less coverage too. If you find any issues in MusicBrainz metadata you ca…

Sorry but this person isn't nearly famous enough to have been "cancelled".

Get W. Sidney Allen's slim text _Vox Graeca_. It goes over not only how Ancient Greek was pronounced but also how we know. The evidence includes explicit notes from grammarians and…

"text normalization" just refers to that sort of thing. it's a subcomponent of the "front-end" of a speech synthesizer but it can also be used for speech recognition (if your train…

Activist investors who want changes in business model or cost are extremely common. Just about every publicly traded company has to deal with one at some point.

I am building libraries for predicting which pronunciation of a homograph to use for in a text-to-speech application. E.g., when we go to synthesize "bass", should we use the pronu…

He'd led a violent (albeit somewhat pathetic, and suppressed) attempt at a coup---that's why he was in jail. Rough comparison points in recent US history would be the domestic terr…

Unless you know something I don't, the SOTA in ASR is a hybrid system that still has all the complexity of the traditional generative model plus NNs on top.

As a professional linguist, I think that Farmer et al. are probably right and it's almost surely not a "writing system" at all. (This is a term of art with a very specific sense.)

They have "limo licenses" but yeah, few if any of them are actual limousines in wheelbase / shape. Most are towncars or upscale SUVs.

I would not recommend NLTK (or its book) or Jurafsky & Martin, or Manning & Schuetze. All are insanely dated. Watch some Coursera lectures, check out a newer, non-academic, applica…
