Farooq | فاروقYesterday, I ordered food online. However it went a little off. And I contacted Support. They called me and for one moment, I thought it's a bot or recorded voice or something. And I hated it. Then I realized it's a human on the line.I was planning to do an LLM+TTS+Speech Recognition and deploy it on A311D. To see if I can practice british accent with it. Now I'm rethinking about what I want to do. This way we are going, it doesn't lead to a good destination. I would hate it if I would have to talk to a voice enabled chatbot as support agent rather than a human.And don't get me wrong. Voice enabled chatbots can have tons of good uses. But replacing humans with LLMs, not a good one. I don't think so.<a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/TTS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TTS</a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/ASR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ASR</a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/speechrecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#speechrecognition</a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/speechai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#speechai</a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/ML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ML</a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/MachineLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MachineLearning</a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/chatbot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#chatbot</a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/chatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#chatbots</a> <a href="https://cr8r.gg/tags/artificialintelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#artificialintelligence</a>

Dirk Schnelle-WalkaSpeechAgents: Human-Communication Simulation with Multi-Modal Multi-Agent Systems. Multi-modal LLM system simulates human communication using speech and generates human-like dialogues with consistent content, rhythm, & emotion.Funnily, they also elaborate on a "think before you speak" design aspect. This might also be applicable to our everyday lives. doi: 10.48550/arXiv.2401.03945 <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/multimodal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#multimodal</a> <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/speechAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#speechAI</a> <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/multiagent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#multiagent</a> <a href="https://mastodontech.de/tags/conversationalai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#conversationalai</a>

Version 17 was released yesterday (big ups to the team - EM Lewis-Jong, <a href="https://mastodon.social/@jessie" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@jessie</a>, Gina Moape, Dmitrij Feller) and there's some super interesting insights from the visualisation: ➡ Catalan (ca) now has more data in Common Voice than English (en) (!)➡ The language with the highest average audio utterance duration at nearly 7 seconds is Icelandic (is). Perhaps Icelandic words are longer? I suspect so!➡ Spanish (es), Bangla (Bengali) (bn), Mandarin Chinese (zh-CN) and Japanese (ja) all have a lot of recorded utterances that have not yet been validated. Albanian (sq) has the highest percentage of validated utterances, followed closely by Erzya / Arisa (myv).➡ Votic (vot) has the highest percentage of invalidated utterances, but with 76% of utterances invalidated, I wonder if this language has been the target of deliberate invalidation activity (invalidating valid sentences, or recording sentences to be deliberately invalid) given the geopolitical instability in Russia currently.

Maaike💡 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?<a href="https://venturebeat.com/ai/nvidia-enters-the-speech-ai-race-joining-meta-and-google/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://venturebeat.com/ai/nvidia-enters-the-speech-ai-race-joining-meta-and-google/</a><a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/ethicalAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ethicalAI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/transparentai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#transparentai</a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/voice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#voice</a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/speech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#speech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/voicetech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#voicetech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/speechtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#speechtech</a> <a href="https://mastodon.design/tags/speechAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#speechAI</a>
