Mozilla’s Open Source Speech Recognition Model and Voice Dataset

Image
Mozilla has just announced the initial release of Mozilla's open source speech recognition model that has an accuracy approaching what humans can perceive when listening to the same recordings. They are also releasing the world's second-largest publicly available voice dataset, which was contributed to by nearly 20,000 people globally. This looks like it will be a very useful resource for researchers. from The Universal Machine http://universal-machine.blogspot.com/ Universal Machine post to email (CS blog)

UK Government releases report on Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

Image
The UK Government's Science and Technology Committee undertook an inquiry into robotics and artificial intelligence.  Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) was one of the "Eight Great Technologies" identified by the UK Government in 2012. The inquiry has now released a report on  Robotics and Artificial Intelligence that you can download from the committee's parliamentary website . Dr Tania Mathias, interim Chair of the Committee, said: " Artificial intelligence has some way to go before we see systems and robots as portrayed in the creative arts such as Star Wars. At present, ' AI machines' have narrow and specific roles, such as in voice-recognition or playing the board game 'Go'. But science fiction is slowly becoming science fact, and robotics and AI look destined to play an increasing role in our lives over the coming decades.  It is too soon to set down sector-wide regulations for this nascent field but it is...
