An architecture for production-ready natural speech synthesizer

Articles

The recent improvements in the field of speech synthesis have lead to many innovative technologies, offering a wide range of useful applications like automatic speech recognition, natural speech synthesis, voice cloning, digital dictation, and so forth.

Deep learning has played an immensely important role in improving already existent speech synthesis approaches by replacing the entire pipeline process with neural networks trained on data alone.

Build Custom Image Classification Models for Mobile with Flutter, ML Kit, and AutoML

Articles

Building a machine learning model to identify custom images might require a lot of dataset collection and a lot of time to do it correctly.

This article is not a theoretical one—rather, I’ll walk you through the steps for creating an app that you could distribute amongst your peers to collect, create, and analyze TensorFlow models.

If you want a custom image classifier, but don’t have the right data or the know-how to build it, you’ve come to the right place.

Practical tips for better quantization results

Articles

Quantization can make your deep learning models smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient (I’ve written about this previously).

But the process may cause high accuracy loss or may not improve prediction speed if done incorrectly. So here, I’m sharing some practical tips to minimize accuracy loss while maintaining good inference speed. These points are valid for both post-training quantization and quantization-aware training.

Character AI Review (2024): A New Realm of Imagination

AI Tools Articles

So I just had a brief chat with Elon Musk about his SpaceX program. I also discussed life and its meaning with Socrates.

I’m not joking – it’s real and all this is possible with artificial intelligence. I’m talking about a chatbot service called Character AI where you can chat with your favorite characters.

There are many chatbot services in the market but with Character AI, it’s like you’re actually chatting with the character you choose.

Five Contemporary Natural Language Processing Problems Pushed Forward by DL

Articles

Computer scientists have been attempting to solve many different Natural Language Processing (NLP) problems since the time computers were conceived.

But the field become slightly stagnant around the 2000s, and did not gain traction again till the ‘Deep Learning’ boom that occurred during the last decade.

Of the many factors that helped build this traction was the spike in available textual data, thanks to the rise in the number of web and mobile applications.
