Description
When was the last time you had a meaningful conversation with your computer… and felt like it truly understood you? Well, if Dr. Xuedong Huang, a Microsoft Technical Fellow and head of Microsoft’s Speech and Language group, is successful, you will. And if his track record holds true, it’ll be sooner than you think!
On today’s podcast, Dr. Huang talks about his role as Microsoft’s Chief Speech Scientist, gives us some inside details on the latest milestones in speech and language technology, and explains how mastering speech recognition, translation and conversation will move machines further along the path from “perceptive AI” to “cognitive AI” and that much closer to truly human intelligence.
