Big or Small The world that is?
Given Hope's post with this text here:
“Just over two years ago, researchers at Microsoft Research and the University of Toronto made another breakthrough. By using a technique called Deep Neural Networks, which is patterned after human brain behavior, researchers were able to train more discriminative and better speech recognizers than previous methods.
[...] We have been able to reduce the word error rate for speech by over 30% compared to previous methods. This means that rather than having one word in 4 or 5 incorrect, now the error rate is one word in 7 or 8.”
And given Ortsbo's connection to U of T is it possible that Ortsbo and Microsoft are working mutually exclusive of each other in the translation space with regards to their work at U of T?
Note in the video provided Rick Rashid discusses microdomains to improve upon the success rates of the translations. I've heard this before somewhere....
So Big or Small?
Before you answer please look out the window and see if there is a flock of pigs flying over your head.
Have a good day longs!
