The world of artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly advancing, and recently AI has been used to create impressive works of art, such as realistic pictures or newspaper articles. This has sparked a lot of discussion on the possibility for AI to be truly creative (see this article by Forbes for an overview), with proponent emphasizing the beauty of what a machine can produce and detractors that reminds us that those results are nothing else but…
How do you interact with a Large Language Model? And how do you integrate its knowledge inside a real-life application, for example a bot, a translation system, or something similar? In this short video I show how easy it is to interact with a Large Language Model (LLM), in this case the famous GPT-3, using the command line. GPT-3 is a generative model because it is able to produce novel texts based on a prompt,…
Interpreting as a Profession Interpreters are important language professionals who facilitate communication between two or more people who do not share a common language. They interpret spoken or written messages from one language into another, ensuring that the meaning is conveyed accurately and faithfully. Interpreters play a vital role in many settings, including courtrooms, conferences, business meetings, and medical appointments. They must be able to listen carefully and accurately render the meaning of the message…
Most building blocks of Artificial Intelligence are increasingly plug&play. This means they are accessible to anyone with a basic knowledge of programming (mainly in Python). This is one of the recent revolutions in the field I will never stop emphasizing. If a company makes a product out of it, and you can bet it will sooner or later, you don’t even need these skills. This also applies to voice cloning, i.e. the process in which…
A few months ago, I wrote a simple demonstration AI-tool to rephrase and correct text in English. I now added 4 extra languages. The tool supports also French, Italian, Spanish and German. The tool is available for free here: https://www.claudiofantinuoli.org/apps/COR/index.html. If you are curious about how AI can rewrite sentences, what are its potentials and limitations, here you will find some information. Note: in the EasyAI project, we want to explain to students of the…
Meta AI recently published a new framework (AV-HuBERT) to improve automatic speech recognition thanks to lips monitoring, de facto combining Speech with Vision, two of the traditional areas of Artificial Intelligence. Incorporating data on both visual lip movement and spoken language, AV-HuBERT aims at bringing artificial assistants closer to human-level speech perception (see META AI blog post). Anyone who has ever dealt with a voice assistant would be pleased with any improvement in this user…
