r/programming - Dead simple speaker diarization on unseen speakers with a pretrained deep learning model
Hello, I'm the author of the Real-Time Voice Cloning project that was posted here recently. I've developped a spin-off of the deep voice encoder from that project in order to perform speaker diarization, modest fake speech detection, voice comparison and high level voice feature extraction. It comes as a lightweight python package (pip install resemblyzer) for which you will find demos here. I hope you will find it interesting!
r/MachineLearning - [P] PyChubby - Face Warping
Change facial expressions and shapes with zero effort. Give it a photo, define what to do with the faces (smile, open eyes, shrink, ...), pychubby will do the rest. I would appreciate any feedback. Especially regarding the possibility of using it for augmentations in face recognition related tasks. Also, if there is someone who is interested in contributing or suggesting new features I would be more than happy!
Illinois law regulates artificial intelligence use in video job interviews
A new law in Illinois will regulate the use of artificial intelligence in job interviews. The Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act, House Bill 2557, requires companies to notify the applicant when the system is being used, explain how the AI works, get permission from the applicant, limit distribution of the video to people involved with the process and to destroy the video after 30 days. Matthew Jedreski, counsel at Davis Wright Tremaine LLP in Seattle, is a litigator and employment attorney who updates clients on local and state employment laws. Jedreski said AI video interviews apply psychometrics, which is the science of measuring attitude and personality traits. "It's reading data and then analyzing it to determine whether it can draw conclusions about the person being interviewed," Jedreski said.
European News Agencies discuss artificial intelligence
Anadolu Agency called on other European news media organizations to be more sensitive towards the ongoing tragedy in Syria. A three-day general assembly of the European Alliance of News Agencies (EANA) came to an end on Friday in the Czech capital Prague. Anadolu Agency editor-in-chief Metin Mutanoglu said in a speech that Syria's northwestern Idlib area was under heavy fire by Bashar al-Assad regime forces and that the region was facing a fresh wave of migrants. Mutanoglu underlined that though tens of thousands were forced to leave their homes due to regime attacks, the European news media were not interested enough in the issue. A new migration wave would affect not only Turkey but the rest of Europe as well, he stressed, adding that EANA should thus make a greater effort to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in war-torn country .
