Why would FB work on such a tech?
Positive stories associated with the brand seem especially needed these days. Perhaps FB keeps other “rainy day” projects as well.
Will Facebook license this tech out? I can't be the only one who's noticed Google's speech recognition has gotten significantly less accurate the last couple of years, probably the result of some cost-cutting strategy.
I wonder if it's less accurate for specific people, but more accurate generally. In other words speech recognition was more accurate in the beginning on english-speaking men, and maybe now it's better for women, kids, people with accents, other languages, etc... They train this on examples of speaking and maybe it's more broad now.

Perhaps having the freedom to work on these problems is necessary to keep talent. Positive stories associated with the brand seem especially needed these days. Perhaps FB keeps other “rainy day” projects as well.

I was contacted by their recruiters recently and started getting warmed up on their interviewing, etc. However, this was back in December when they put out ads against Apple's choice to allow users to opt out of tracking. It kind of made it difficult to want to follow through on the interview process after that... so I didn't.
FB pays well and works on really interesting things but I just can't justify the moral price of working there.
It seems that the discriminator tests if the output of the generator obeys the pattern of a language. Isn't it still possible that after training the generator outputs the text wrong for the input? On the other words, the output is understandable but actually not what the sound indicate?

What a world!
How does Facebook use speech recognition in its own products?
Haven't you ever wondered if some mobile apps listen to you? And then you get accurate targeted ads...
But go ahead, try it yourself! Have a conversation about having children with your loved one, next to your phones and your TV box, no online search required. Give it few hours and turn your Sling on, or browse some Amazon/Youtube. All of sudden you will see ads for products and companies you have never heard of, trying to sell you diapers or baby cribs. Where do you think it came from? Google, as of today, still is unable to read your mind.
