Speech recognition remains a challenging problem in AI and machine learning. In a step toward solving it, OpenAI today open-sourced Whisper, an automatic speech recognition system that the company ...

One group commonly misunderstood by voice technology are individuals who speak African American English, or AAE. Researchers designed an experiment to test how AAE speakers adapt their speech when ...

Children’s speech presents unique challenges for ASR systems. Their smaller, growing vocal tracts lead to greater acoustic variability. On top of that, kids are still learning how to speak, making ...

Are humans or machines better at recognizing speech? A new study shows that in noisy conditions, current automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems achieve remarkable accuracy and sometimes even ...

Balls of human brain cells linked to a computer have been used to perform a very basic form of speech recognition. The hope is that such systems will use far less energy for AI tasks than silicon ...

Rosy Southwell is a postdoc research scientist at CU Boulder who holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from University College London, UK and an MS in Natural Sciences from University of Cambridge, UK ...

Every time you say something to Alexa or Siri, or use voice to text to send a text message, you’re using artificial intelligence. While those programs can be pretty accurate, there’s plenty of times ...

What’s your experience of in-car voice recognition technology? If it’s anything like ours you probably find these systems incredibly frustrating because the interactions happen too slowly and the car ...
