The “Reliable and Efficient Artificial Intelligence Speech and Language Technologies” seminar was presented by Prof. Zhijian OU of
Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University
Abstract:
Large-model speech and language technologies, represented by ChatGPT, have attracted much attention recently. However, they still face severe challenges in reliability and efficiency, which are two key requirements to widely support applications for various domains, especially for those with low resource and high domain-knowledge. This talk mainly introduces: 1) The philosophy of principled semi-supervised learning behind the success of large language models (LLMs); 2) Reliable and efficient human-machine dialog systems: we model knowledge as missing labels and develop latent-variable model based semi-supervised dialog systems for TOD (Task-Oriented Dialog) and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation); 3) Efficient speech recognition: we propose data-efficient factorized architecture with energy-based acoustic models and language models, and recently we develop data-efficient multilingual and crosslingual speech recognition via weakly phonetic supervision (called Whistle).
This seminar is free of charge, and this is your chance to learn more and join us!

【《中大創新》系列—蒙美玲教授 懂聽能說的人工智能】
電腦是只有0和1的世界，卻懂得聽和說複雜的人類語言，這全靠一眾工程師引入語音識別技術，令人類與機器之間的溝通不再困難。
中大蒙美玲教授研究語音識別多年，她透過引入人工智慧及深度學習等技術，讓電腦學懂分析人類語言，知曉語音背後隱藏的資訊，包括語意、性別、情緒、語言程度，甚至是教育及健康水平等，並研發輔助工具改善人類的生活和學習。「人類的說話就如魔法，當中有很多資訊，除了語意，還有情感、健康程度，甚至教育水平，可以讓機器分析。當下，我要做的就是解究這些資訊，讓人工智慧真正造福人類。」蒙教授分享道。

本文為2020年6月23日「可持續發展目標論壇系列」第四講「人工智能時代下的可持續發展」的講座摘要紀錄。可持續發展目標（SDGs）目標3是「確保健康及促進各年齡層的福祉」， 而目標13則是「採取緊急措施以因應氣候變遷及其影響」。前者是個人與社會範疇的目標，後者是環境範疇的目標。環境與健康固然關係密切，時至今日，兩者都可以運用人工智能（Artificial Intelligence, AI）技術，協助解決一些過去難以解決的問題。
