In recent years, computer scientists have developed a wide range of artificial intelligence (AI) models that can rapidly recognize patterns in data, generate content and solve other computational problems. Many of these AI systems are based on deep neural networks (DNNs), brain-inspired computational models that can make predictions based on…
Large language models (LLMs), such as the model behind OpenAI's popular platform ChatGPT, have been found to successfully tackle a wide range of language processing and text generation tasks. Some of these models have also shown some promise for the generation of programming code, particularly when deployed in sets as…
This paper provides a theoretical framework for interpreting acoustic neighbor embeddings, which are representations of the phonetic content of variable-width audio or text in a fixed-dimensional embedding space. A probabilistic interpretation of the distances between embeddings is proposed, based on a general quantitative definition of phonetic similarity between words. This…
