In Computero: Hear How AI Software Wrote a 'New' Nirvana Song

#artificialintelligence

Ever since Kurt Cobain's death in 1994, Nirvana fans have hypothesized about the music he would have made had he lived. But other than "You Know You're Right," the scabrous, throat-shredding meditation on confusion that Nirvana recorded a few months before his suicide, and a few comments he told confidants about potentially collaborating with R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe or going completely solo, he mainly left behind question marks. Now an organization has created a "new" Nirvana song using artificial-intelligence software to approximate the singer-guitarist's songwriting. The guitar riffs vary from quiet, "Come as You Are"–style plucking to raging, Bleach fury à la "Scoff." And lyrics like, "The sun shines on you but I don't know how," and a surprisingly anthemic chorus, "I don't care/I feel as one, drowned in the sun," bear evocative, Cobain-esque qualities.


Study finds that even the best speech recognition systems exhibit bias

#artificialintelligence

Even state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) algorithms struggle to recognize the accents of people from certain regions of the world. That's the top-line finding of a new study published by researchers at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands Cancer Institute, and the Delft University of Technology, which found that an ASR system for the Dutch language recognized speakers of specific age groups, genders, and countries of origin better than others. Speech recognition has come a long way since IBM's Shoebox machine and Worlds of Wonder's Julie doll. But despite progress made possible by AI, voice recognition systems today are at best imperfect -- and at worst discriminatory. In a study commissioned by the Washington Post, popular smart speakers made by Google and Amazon were 30% less likely to understand non-American accents than those of native-born users.


QuillBot's New Grammar Checker Uses Cutting-Edge AI to Perfect Your Writing

#artificialintelligence

In the middle of 2020, the QuillBot summarizer was launched. It has since become a game changer for many users because it simplifies keeping up with news articles, long memos, and everything in between by identifying only the most important information. Students, bloggers, researchers, and even attorneys use the summarizer to find, compare, and contrast sources quickly and easily for both work and school projects. For those looking for inspiration or to bust writer's block, the summarizing tool helps jumpstart momentum and stave off common writing roadblocks. Many users, especially content creators, employ it to review their own work to ensure their main points are coming through in a clear and compelling way.


MIT researchers use radio waves to help robots find hidden objects

Engadget

At some point in your life, you've probably used a combination of sight and touch to find something hidden beneath your couch cushions. And for a while now, robotics researchers have tried to give their creations that same capability. Back in 2019, a team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) used a combination of tactile sensors and AI to allow a robot to identify objects by touch. A separate group of scientists from MIT has now built a machine that can find things it can't see initially. The aptly named RF Grasp depends on a wrist-mounted camera and an RF reader to hone in and pick up an object.



Fine-tuning pretrained NLP models with Huggingface's Trainer

#artificialintelligence

In the code above, the data used is a IMDB movie sentiments dataset. The data allows us to train a model to detect the sentiment of the movie review- 1 being positive while 0 being negative. This is a NLP task of sequence classification, as we want to classify each review(sequence of text) into positive or negative. There are many pretrained models which we can use to train our sentiment analysis model, let us use pretrained BERT as an example. There are many variants of pretrained BERT model, bert-base-uncased is just one of the variants.


MIT robot uses radio waves to find and retrieve hidden objects

#artificialintelligence

MIT researchers have developed a robot that can detect and grab objects that are hidden behind walls or pieces of clutter. The system, called RF-Grasp, uses radio waves to locate items beyond the line-of-sight of a robot's cameras. It could help warehouse robots grab customer orders or tools that are occluded behind obstacles. If an object is concealed, they typically need to explore the environment and search for the item. Unlike visible light and infrared, RF (radio frequency) signals can traverse cardboard boxes, wooden walls, plastic covers, and colored glass to perceive objects fitted with RFID tags.

Painting Music with Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Painting Music is a project we are co-developing in collaboration with visual artist, Kate Steenhauer. We have developed a system using image processing and Artificial Intelligence which can, in real time, convert the process of a live painted drawing into a musical score that is unique to each performance (see Figure 1 of a photo taken during live performance). This began as a part of an undergraduate Honours project and focused on the question "Is AI good or bad?". Since then, the prototype system has been used in a performance; had a short 20-minute film made about it; been published as a journal paper; and we have been asked to attend several webinars (links to which are provided below). In this blog post, we are looking to provide an insight into the processes within the system, challenges we encountered in the development process, and finally how we are able to translate visual inputs to audio outputs.
