Hallucination Level of Artificial Intelligence Whisperer: Case Speech Recognizing Pantterinousut Rap Song
Horppu, Ismo, Ayala, Frederick, Gulbenkoglu, Erlin
All languages are peculiar. Some of them are considered more challenging to understand than others. The Finnish Language is known to be a complex language. Also, when languages are used by artists, the pronunciation and meaning might be more tricky to understand. Therefore, we are putting AI to a fun, yet challenging trial: translating a Finnish rap song to text. We will compare the Faster Whisperer algorithm and YouTube's internal speech-to-text functionality. The reference truth will be Finnish rap lyrics, which the main author's little brother, Mc Timo, has written. Transcribing the lyrics will be challenging because the artist raps over synth music player by Syntikka Janne. The hallucination level and mishearing of AI speech-to-text extractions will be measured by comparing errors made against the original Finnish lyrics. The error function is informal but still works for our case.
Prompt-guided Precise Audio Editing with Diffusion Models
Xu, Manjie, Li, Chenxing, zhang, Duzhen, Su, Dan, Liang, Wei, Yu, Dong
Audio editing involves the arbitrary manipulation of audio content through precise control. Although text-guided diffusion models have made significant advancements in text-to-audio generation, they still face challenges in finding a flexible and precise way to modify target events within an audio track. We present a novel approach, referred to as PPAE, which serves as a general module for diffusion models and enables precise audio editing. The editing is based on the input textual prompt only and is entirely training-free. We exploit the cross-attention maps of diffusion models to facilitate accurate local editing and employ a hierarchical local-global pipeline to ensure a smoother editing process. Experimental results highlight the effectiveness of our method in various editing tasks.
MindBigData 2023 MNIST-8B The 8 billion datapoints Multimodal Dataset of Brain Signals
MindBigData 2023 MNIST-8B is the largest, to date (June 1st 2023), brain signals open dataset created for Machine Learning, based on EEG signals from a single subject captured using a custom 128 channels device, replicating the full 70,000 digits from Yaan LeCun et all MNIST dataset. The brain signals were captured while the subject was watching the pixels of the original digits one by one on a screen and listening at the same time to the spoken number 0 to 9 from the real label. The data, collection procedures, hardware and software created are described in detail, background extra information and other related datasets can be found at our previous paper MindBigData 2022: A Large Dataset of Brain Signals.
AI music generators could be a boon for artists -- but also problematic
It was only five years ago that electronic punk band YACHT entered the recording studio with a daunting task: They would train an AI on 14 years of their music, then synthesize the results into the album "Chain Tripping." "I'm not interested in being a reactionary," YACHT member and tech writer Claire L. Evans said in a documentary about the album. "I don't want to return to my roots and play acoustic guitar because I'm so freaked out about the coming robot apocalypse, but I also don't want to jump into the trenches and welcome our new robot overlords either." But our new robot overlords are making a whole lot of progress in the space of AI music generation. Even though the Grammy-nominated "Chain Tripping" was released in 2019, the technology behind it is already becoming outdated.
Train your deep learning models faster with OVHCloud -- Use case Pytorch/SpeechBrain
Deep learning models and datasets are becoming increasingly large for a variety of tasks. It is critical to train models in a timely manner, especially in business, where we want to experiment swiftly. Furthermore, for both economic and environmental reasons, maximizing the usage of available technology during training is critical. In this article, we will look at various approaches for shortening learning time and making better use of computing resources. In particular OVHcloud AI Training provides a GPU cluster platform.
Laplace Redux -- Effortless Bayesian Deep Learning
Daxberger, Erik, Kristiadi, Agustinus, Immer, Alexander, Eschenhagen, Runa, Bauer, Matthias, Hennig, Philipp
Bayesian formulations of deep learning have been shown to have compelling theoretical properties and offer practical functional benefits, such as improved predictive uncertainty quantification and model selection. The Laplace approximation (LA) is a classic, and arguably the simplest family of approximations for the intractable posteriors of deep neural networks. Yet, despite its simplicity, the LA is not as popular as alternatives like variational Bayes or deep ensembles. This may be due to assumptions that the LA is expensive due to the involved Hessian computation, that it is difficult to implement, or that it yields inferior results. In this work we show that these are misconceptions: we (i) review the range of variants of the LA including versions with minimal cost overhead; (ii) introduce "laplace", an easy-to-use software library for PyTorch offering user-friendly access to all major flavors of the LA; and (iii) demonstrate through extensive experiments that the LA is competitive with more popular alternatives in terms of performance, while excelling in terms of computational cost. We hope that this work will serve as a catalyst to a wider adoption of the LA in practical deep learning, including in domains where Bayesian approaches are not typically considered at the moment.

Review: Wrapping up another vintage year, Integral bossmen Artificial Intelligence return from their Metalheadz missions with four stunning reminders of their abilities: the way the strings ease in from behind and take you by surprise on "Nobody", the warm-but-deadly reese funk on "Definition", the power soul of "Dreams Of Freedom" and the return of the classic warm harmonic subby bassline they spearheaded in the mid 2000s on "Close 2 U".
