Common Voice is a crowdsourcing project started by Mozilla to create a free database for speech recognition software. The project is supported by volunteers who record sample sentences with a microphone and review recordings of other users. Community Manager Hillary Juma talks to Scott about how the system works and why it's so important to enable all languages and voices with the power of Open Source!

El proyecto Common Voice de Mozilla quiere digitalizar tantos idiomas como sea posible. Y es que los idiomas minoritarios, especialmente de África, apenas se encuentran online o en los sistemas de asistencia por voz.

Mozilla's Common Voice project wants to use crowdsourcing to digitize as many languages as possible, because minority languages - especially those from Africa - are rarely found online or in language assistance systems.

Speech smart assistants currently do not support any African language, but now Mozilla’s Common Voice project is building a dataset for Kiswahili which is spoken by more than a 100 million people in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and South Sudan. They have just been awarded almost $5m for the project. Remy the community lead at Common Voice Kinyarwanda and Chenai chair special adviser for Africa Innovation at the Mozilla Foundation tells us more about the work. Federated Learning As more of our data is processed through machine learning systems, Dr Nic Lane, of the Cambridge Computer Laboratory, explains a new way of processing and using our data without the need to send it through data centres. One solution to reduce the impact is federated learning – where data is processed on the edge, on your device, rather than being centralised. Not only does this reduce the environmental impact of computing, but it also has benefits for privacy and opens up opportunities for data sharing between companies. Electronic VR socks Reporter Claire Jordan has been investigating a novel approach to “walking” in a virtual reality. Existing ways are expensive and need considerable space to function, as well as having a less than satisfactory user experience. A new technology being developed by Professor Yusuke Matsuda of Toyohashi University of Technology in Japan could expand the reach of immersive VR movement to a much wider audience and deliver a better user experience than current solutions. The user wears electronic socks that create the feeling of walking in VR even though the user is sitting down. This could allow users to spend much longer in VR and also allow people with mobility issues to move around more freely, and possibly feel as though they are moving, in VR. The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell with expert commentary from Bill Thompson. Producer: Ania Lichtarowicz (Image: Mozilla’s Common Voice project.

Many people are excited about creating usable speech technology. However, most of the audio data used by large companies isn’t available to the majority of people, and that data is often biased in terms of language, accent, and gender. Jenny, Josh, and Remy from Mozilla join us to discuss how Mozilla is building an open-source voice database that anyone can use to make innovative apps for devices and the web (Common Voice). They also discuss efforts through Mozilla fellowship program to develop speech tech for African languages and understand bias in data sets.

Esperienza disastrosa quella che ho avuto con il team americano di Common Voice che ha affossato, senza dare date esatte (scheduleremo la valutazione entro ... il prossimo semestre !) una soluzione che risolveva problemi irrisolti.Cerca e ricerca, Mozilla Foundation non gestisce piu' il tutto. Lo fa la corporation USA che evidentemente ritiene prioritario bloccare i contributi dei volontari non USA. Fatevi una vostra idea al link sotto indicato, ricordando che non parla piu' solo la foundation ma anche la corporation che userà i risultati di common voice.https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/common-voice-android-app-legal-question-about-the-logo-and-the-name-common-voice/ps: noto ora che il browser Brave (basato su Chrome) e' stato sviluppato da uno dei cofondatori di Mozilla. pps: Mozilla foundation dichiara di controllare completamente Mozilla corporation. Cosi' la foundation raccoglie donazioni e la corporation puo' vendere. Efficace vero ?

The results from machine learning have been getting better and better and the results seen so far from OpenAI's GPT-3 model look stunningly good. But unlike GPT-2 (which was publicly released under a free license), so far GPT-3 is accessible via API-only. What's the reasoning and possible impact of that decision?

The problem with a grass-roots movement is often determining which blade of “grass” will speak for the group. That's been a visible issue with the small trucking business protest, now in its third week in Washington. A review of the signs posted on the 100 or so parked trucks along Constitution Avenue reveals demands for respect; broker investigation, regulation or transparency; elimination of electronic logging devices (ELDs); repeal of hours-of-service (HOS) regulations; and a few other causes thrown in for good measure. Reading through thousands of social-media comments by protesters and supporters only muddies the water further. One can imagine a make-believe scenario where the proverbial genie appears to the protesters to grant them three wishes ... and sets off a weeklong argument about what those wishes should be. Enter the United States Transportation Alliance (ustransportationalliance.org). Conceived in the notion that the organizations with lobbying power in government exist to serve everyone except small business truckers, USTA, a 501c6 nonprofit, gives voice to the “little guy.” The hundreds of “little guys” protesting in Washington have need for such a voice. As Mark Meadows, President Donald Trump's chief of staff addressed an assembled group of protesters on May 14, he asked, “So, you like Mike?” The crowd erupted in cheering and applause. They were cheering Michael Landis, CEO and founder of USTA. No vote was taken to elect him spokesperson, but the trust he has garnered among the protesters makes him an obvious choice. In an exclusive interview with The Trucker, USTA's president and co-founder Kevin Steichen, along with Ingrid Brown, chairperson of the organization's corporate relations and safety education, spoke about the protest, the FMCSA's recent final ruling on HOS regulations, and the purpose of USTA. The FMCSA ruling wasn't entirely a surprise. “We're working hand in hand with the FMCSA,” Steichen said. “We attend meetings with them monthly.” Although USTA has input into FMCSA decisions, the organization must wait for the final outcome, just like everyone else. Steichen advised patience with the new rules. “Third-party ‘interpretation' sucks,” he said.” That's why we want to read every work and then read it again, so that when we do comment, we're commenting on facts and not what someone thinks.” Reading the 232-page ruling takes time and could result in communication with the FMCSA for explanation of some of the provisions included. The latest HOS revision is only one of the things the USTA board has been working on. “We are partners and stakeholders in the ‘Our Roads, Our Safety' campaign at FMCSA,” Brown said. “They brought us in around April of last year and we've been a part of it ever since.” More recently, USTA became concerned about personal protective equipment not being available to most truck drivers. “USTA was instrumental in putting together the $75,000 in PPE that is being distributed to drivers, free,” Brown said. “Now we're working on the next $50,000.” While progress on individual issues is important, USTA's primary mission is to represent the driver. There are no products or services, save for a hat or T-shirt, to sell to the organization's membership. Membership dues and donations don't come close to covering the costs of travel, lodging, food, parking and other expenses incurred on each trip to Washington to meet with lawmakers or the FMCSA. “Being that they don't drive (a truck), sometimes they don't understand what we do. We don't just throw emails at them; we sit at the table and discuss the issues. That's who we are,” Brown explained. “It can be frustrating to work with FMCSA, but I've been doing it for two years,” Steichen added. “We have a love-hate relationship with those guys, but we make it work. Our role is to bridge the gap between FMCSA and the drivers in our industry.” Persistence has been key to the organization's success in gaini...

Vært: Henrik Heide Medvirkende: Michael Rothenborg, Magnus Boye og Trine Reitz Bjerregaard I denne uges Transformator handler det først om de stemmestyrede assistenter som Siri, Alexa og Cortana. Vi er alle er med til at lære dem at genkende tale, mens vi bruger dem, og dermed forærer vi vores stemmedata til de store it-selskaber som Google, Amazon og Microsoft. Et alternativ er projektet Common Voice, som Mozilla står bag. Det er et forsøg på at crowdsource en database med stemmedata. Hvad byder man uønskede gæster? Bodil, Urd, Egon, Ingolf eller Allan vil man nok helst barrikadere sig mod med sandsække eller et højt dige – navnlig hvis man bor i områder som Jyllinge Nordmark, hvor den slags storme får fjorden til at stige og kigge indenfor i stuen. Er det en kyst- og klimaplan, vi har brug for, hvis man skal komme igennem med diger på de truede områder, hvor naboerne ikke kan blive enige? Ugens holdning kommer fra Ingeniørens lederartikel, som stikker til regeringen for at komme med udmeldinger om plastposer og papemballage til tandpasta, mens vi efter 77 dage stadig venter på et udspil til en reel reform af klima- og energipolitikken. Links Mozilla: Monopol på stemmedata minder om patent på mus og keyboard Oversvømmelser og skybrud koster langt mere, end vi tror Danmark mangler en kyst- og klimaplan Leder: Kom så med de ‘upopulære’ beslutninger Danskernes nye biler bliver stadigt mere sorte Efter stald-fadæsen på DTU: Ministre dropper omstridt udbud af forskning Forsker undsiger big bang: Universet har ingen begyndelse og ingen ende

Voice assistants have been criticized for gender and racial bias due to the fact that they’re predominantly developed by white males in western-based tech companies. Mozilla wants to solve this and created “Common Voice” in 2017, a tool that crowdsources voices as a dataset to diversify AI and represent the global population.Starring Sarah Lane, Patrick Beja, Roger Chang, and Amos  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this episode I had the opportunity to chat with the head of the Common Voice project, Kelly Davis. Kelly is a trained physicist who studied string theory before getting hooked on artificial intelligence in the late ‘90s. We talk about AI art collectives, his fascination with creating an intelligent agent, project Common Voice, and a little about the future of humanity.

Myriad trade organizations represent companies in the supplement and functional food industries, but through partnerships and collaboration, five prominent groups are working together to offer a common voice in discussions on Capitol Hill and with FDA, according to Steve Mister, president and CEO of one of those organizations, the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN). Mister noted the trade groups—the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA), the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA), CRN, the Natural Products Association (NPA) and the United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA)—are not speaking with one voice, as each trade group has different priorities, but they are making efforts to ensure their messages are consistent. Along with industry collaboration, Mister discusses other aspects of the state of the supplement and functional foods industry with Sandy Almendarez, editor in chief, INSIDER. In this podcast, they also cover: • The strategic endeavor to get multivitamins included in the U.S. government’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) • How supplement and functional food industries can connect and sell to consumers who access their information online • The progress on the Supplement Online Wellness Library (OWL), an industry-led registry that launched just over a year ago.

Thanks to our sponsor Springboard. In this week's episode, guest Andre Natal from Mozilla joins our host, Kyle Polich, to discuss a couple exciting new developments in open source speech recognition systems, which include Project Common Voice. In June 2017, Mozilla launched a new open source project, Common Voice, a novel complementary project to the TensorFlow-based DeepSpeech implementation. DeepSpeech is a deep learning-based voice recognition system that was designed by Baidu, which they describe in greater detail in their research paper. DeepSpeech is a speech-to-text engine, and Mozilla hopes that, in the future, they can use Common Voice data to train their DeepSpeech engine.
