Seeking a way of preventing audio models for AI machine learning from being fooled
Warnings have emerged about the unreliability of the metrics used to detect whether an audio perturbation designed to fool AI models can be perceived by humans. Researchers show that the distortion metrics used to detect intentional perturbations in audio signals are not a reliable measure of human perception, and have proposed a series of improvements.
Seeking a way of preventing audio models for AI machine learning from being fooled
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly based on machine learning models, trained using large datasets. Likewise, human-computer interaction is increasingly dependent on speech communication, mainly due to the remarkable performance of machine learning models in speech recognition tasks.
AI and Prosthetics
Imagine if a prosthetic hand could feel, or if a robotic leg could behave differently depending on where the user is. Researchers around the globe are working to make this level of sophistication a reality, and they are doing so with the use of AI.
