Speech arises in the mind. Therefore, speech using only thought is not a big surprise. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are decoding neural activity, translating thoughts directly into words. This breakthrough could revolutionize communication for those with speech impairments, offering new hope for expressing thoughts without vocalization. #Neuroscience #BCI #Innovation #SpeechTech

Tomorrow will start a conference on speech technology… One can imagine algorithms and the ‘AI’ variety to be of special interest for translations between speech, text, languages, meta data and other pseudo-semantic instances. I will be arguing the risks and offer a solution for human behavioural relations, pertaining to the use of so called ‘Large Language Models’s #LLM produce. Throw away after use!

There will be online streaming

@nickfisherau Nice. Did you publish any details about your alignment code?
For post-edit - maybe #Praat is easier for #speechtech?
I recently did phone alignment tool as a gift to Czech #phonetics and minimizing dependencies (and install hassle), I finally went without anything like Kaldi, using just very basic #Pytorch for NN AM training and then alignment. I guess going zero-up was really easier than decomposing some big thing like Whisper.

I still need to manually check (and occasionally correct) the alignments though.

I wrote a couple of Python scripts/extension for Audacity that loads up the audio/labels so you can manually drag the handles to adjust the alignments. Works pretty well!

I know there are various web interfaces for this but seems you need to use them for your entire pipeline (ingest/labelling/export/indexing/etc) or not at all.

💡 Interesting read on how one of the biggest commercial players out there plans to use Mozilla Open Voice data to make speech AI more inclusive and open to more language.

💬 Sounds idealistic, but Open Voice datasets are created by unpaid volunteers who donate hours and hours of their speech. Not sure whether I feel comfortable with that, tbh.

💭 Thoughts?

We'll dig deeper into OpenAI Whisper (openai.com/blog/whisper/) this weekend. I'll announce a DateTime for the YT live stream here later.

Note: It's not a presentation but a session. You can also join in on the task/Livestream via audio/video through Google Meet.

How much do you know about the sub-field already?
