The Javanese language features a complex system of honorifics that vary according to the social status of the speaker, listener, and referent. Despite its cultural and linguistic significance, there has been limited progress in developing a comprehensive corpus to capture these variations for natural language processing (NLP) tasks. In this paper, we present Unggah-Ungguh, a carefully curated dataset designed to encapsulate the nuances of Unggah-Ungguh Basa, the Javanese speech etiquette framework that dictates the choice of words and phrases based on social hierarchy and context. Using Unggah-Ungguh, we assess the ability of language models (LMs) to process various levels of Javanese honorifics through classification and machine translation tasks. To further evaluate cross-lingual LMs, we conduct machine translation experiments between Javanese (at specific honorific levels) and Indonesian. Additionally, we explore whether LMs can generate contextually appropriate Javanese honorifics in conversation tasks, where the honorific usage should align with the social role and contextual cues. Our findings indicate that current LMs struggle with most honorific levels, exhibitinga bias toward certain honorific tiers.

Fox News senior congressional correspondent Chad Pergram joins'Fox News Live' to explain how he prepares to report on Congress for the upcoming year. Every two years, the period between the November election and when the new Congress begins is often the busiest swath of time for covering Congress. Reporters are trying to figure out who won their elections and who lost. The existing Congress is back, attempting to prevent a government shutdown and often plowing through a landscape of other major legislation. There are often leadership elections.

He has one of the most instantly recognisable voices in Britain, but have you ever wondered what David Attenborough would sound like speaking German? Well, now you can find out, thanks to a new AI tool that can clone anyone's voice and make them say anything in multiple languages. The tool, by ElevenLabs, requires just a few seconds of audio, and even maintains the speaker's original tone of voice. Creators hope this will'expand the horizons' in numerous fields including publishing, game development and the media. You can try it yourself on ElevenLabs' website using your own voice or that of your favourite celebrity!

In January, Microsoft unveiled an AI that can clone a speaker's voice after hearing them talk for just three seconds. While this system, VALL-E, was far from the first voice cloning AI, its accuracy and need for such a small audio sample set a new bar for the tech. Microsoft has now raised that bar again with an update called "VALL-E X," which can clone a voice from a short sample (4 to 10 seconds) and then use it to synthesize speech in a different language, all while preserving the original speaker's voice, emotion, and tone.
