FastSpeech: New text-to-speech model improves on speed, accuracy, and controllability
Text to speech (TTS) has attracted a lot of attention recently due to advancements in deep learning. Neural network-based TTS models (such as Tacotron 2, DeepVoice 3 and Transformer TTS) have outperformed conventional concatenative and…
Adaptive systems, machine learning and collaborative AI with Dr. Besmira Nushi
With all the buzz surrounding AI, it can be tempting to envision it as a stand-alone entity that optimizes for accuracy and displaces human capabilities. But Dr. Besmira Nushi, a senior researcher in the Adaptive…
Provable guarantees come to the rescue to break attack-defense cycle in adversarial machine learning
Artificial intelligence has evolved to become a revolutionary technology. It is rapidly changing the economy, both by creating new opportunities (it’s the backbone of the gig economy) and by bringing venerable institutions, like transportation, into…
