Machine-learning techniques have proven successful and been used in the areas of autonomous machines, speech recognition, and natural language processing.
Figure 8 Histogram of the logarithmic LSFM measure for car interior, machine gun, speech babble, and speech-shaped noises (SNR = 0 dB).
SNR= −10, −5, 0, 5, and 10 dB. Figure 14 Total misclassification error as a function of M and R combination for machine gun, speech babble, and speech-shaped noises.
Among the 12 kinds of noises, white noise and pink noise are stationary noises while others are all non-stationary noises, namely tank, military vehicle, jet cockpit, HF channel, F-16 cockpit, factory floor, car interior, machine gun, speech babble, and speech-shaped noises.
Potential applications include improvements to image search, speech recognition and machine language translation.
Even then AI was breaking up into specializations — machine vision, speech recognition, robotics.
Under the banner of the Alexa Fund Fellowship are two programs: The Alexa Graduate Fellowship, focused on fostering education by PhD and post-doctoral students on topics like machine learning, speech science, and conversational A.I.; as well as the Alexa Innovation Fellowship, which is aimed at helping entrepreneurship center faculty serve as voice experts on campus, Amazon says.
There are other examples of how machine-altered speech may trump that of humans.
While Google offers its service for building custom machine-learning models, it also provides developers with a number of pre-trained models for machine vision, speech-to-text conversion, translations and extracting information from text.
This paper analyzes the impacts of machine translation and speech synthesis on speech-to-speech translation systems.
