Beyond the Patterns 46 Mirco Ravanelli ( MILA): The Speech Brain Project

We have the great honor to welcome Mirco Ravanellito our lab for an invited presentation Abstract: SpeechBrain is an opensource and allinone conversational AI toolkit. It is designed to facilitate the research and development of speech and language technologies by being simple, flexible, userfriendly, and welldocumented. This talk describes the core architecture designed to support several tasks of common interest, allowing users to naturally conceive, compare and share novel conversational AI pipelines. SpeechBrain achieves competitive or stateoftheart performance in a wide range of benchmarks. It also provides training recipes, pretrained models, and inference scripts for popular datasets, as well as tutorials that allow anyone with basic Python proficiency to familiarize themselves with speech technologies. The talk will also discuss the future research direction for this project and share some ideas for the future development of intelligent speaking machines. Short Bio: Mirco Ravanelli is curr
