Le dije soy de Cali y me respondió pachanguero 😍😍

We’ll show how bridging speech processing and psycholinguistics benefits both fields, and why speech researchers (you!) should care. Collab. between ENS/Meta (Emmanuel Dupoux), Tampere University (Okko Räsänen) and Apple (me). Hope to see many of you on September 21! (2/2)

Now that @ISCAInterspeech registration is open, time for some shameless promo! Sign-up and join our Interspeech tutorial: Speech Technology Meets Early Language Acquisition: How Interdisciplinary Efforts Benefit Both Fields. 🗣️👶 interspeech2025.org/tutorials ⬇️ (1/2)

The paper has been published! doi.org/10.1016/j.cogn…

(3) While the inclusion of PLE did not improve the compatibility of the tested models with empirical infant data, our study highlights the relevance of PLE as a factor in modelling studies. Paper soon available in the Cognition journal

I am happy to share that our latest paper, “Simulating Prenatal Language Exposure in Computational Models: An Exploration Study”, has been accepted for publication in @CognitionJourn, a collaboration with @ojrasanen, Nayeli Gonzalez-Gomez and @LavechinMarvin.

@un_palacio que montón de frutas tan raras :3

People working on early language acquisition, have you seen this super cool special session to happen at @ISCAInterspeech? paper submission and reviewers calls are now open!

@louispereira @thalygutierrez_ @iris9112 Yes, indeed, we are looking for a TTS system. We are now using Google Cloud TTS; however, that one has only 4 voices for Cantonese. So, recommendations are still appreciated.

@thalygutierrez_ @MariaAndreaCruz @iris9112 Nah I think they're looking for text to speech. AudioPen is speech to text :)

Hi network, I am looking for voice conversion/text-to-speech (accepting phonetic transcription) tools for Cantonese. Do you have any recommendation? You could also help me with a repost to reach the people working on speech technology for Cantonese 🙏.

My family has been taken to Gaza. We don't know their medical condition, we know that if my uncle isn't released soon he could die, he has a degenerative disease and needs treatment. They are European citizens. I need anyone with any contacts to get in touch with me ASAP.

🍏🍏🍏 Apple ML Research in Paris has multiple open research internship positions! 🍎🍎🍎 We are looking for Ph.D. students interested in generative modeling, optimization or uncertainty quantification, with applications to challenging scientific problems. Details below 👇👇👇

I am considering starting an open-source business around #pyannote open-source state-of-the-art speaker diarization toolkit. Please help me make the right decisions by either filling this form and/or retweeting: forms.gle/eKhn7H2zTa68sM… A few promising stats:

If you want to contribute to Keras Core to make ML more fun and more framework-agnostic, we have a list of open contribution items here: github.com/keras-team/ker…

Asked on the other app already, but does anyone know of other hand-aligned speech corpora at the phone level, like Buckeye? Ideally looking for French, German, or Spanish, but any corpus recommendation is still welcome!
