Combining convolutional neural network with computational neuroscience to simulate cochlear mechanics
A trio of researchers at Ghent University has combined a convolutional neural network with computational neuroscience to create a model that simulates human cochlear mechanics. In their paper published in Nature Machine Intelligence, Deepak Baby, Arthur Van Den Broucke and Sarah Verhulst describe how they built their model and the ways they believe it can be used. Over the past several decades, great strides have been made in speech and voice recognition technology. Customers are routinely serviced by phone-based agents, for example. Also, voice recognition and response systems on smartphones have become ubiquitous.
