This findings of the report is that 50 percent of all AI first edition features artificial intelligence (AI) as patents have been published in just the last five the theme. It is a fitting topic for the launch of years – a remarkable illustration of how rapidly the series as AI is a cutting-edge technology innovation is advancing in this field. with impacts on a wide range of businesses and activities. This report identifies the key players in AI from both the corporate and public AI is fast becoming part of our everyday lives, sectors across different research areas and changing how we work, shop, travel and industries. Furthermore, the analysis of the interact with each other. Yet we are only at data and the inputs from AI experts address the beginning of discovering the many ways many of the policy issues raised by AI, such in which AI will have an impact on – and as the regulation and control of data, the indeed challenge – business, society and incentivization of further research, the role of culture. There are numerous misconceptions intellectual property (IP) protection and the and misgivings about the nature of AI, and in development of human-centered and ethical AI particular the challenge it poses to humankind. to benefit all. Given these widely held reservations and concerns, it is essential to have a factual basis Together, the analysis of technological trends for policy discussions about innovation in AI. presented in this report and the voices of AI Through this report, we hope to contribute experts collected here are a valuable new evidence and bring clarity to this important addition to a growing knowledge base on AI. area of debate. I hope that this contribution will help to shift Based on a detailed study of patents and other debate away from speculative interpretation information, this new report aims to shed light and toward evidence-based projections, on the trends in innovation in AI since the field thereby informing global policymaking on first developed in the 1950s. Research has the future of AI, its governance and the IP involved the analysis of patent data related framework that supports it. to AI inventions, as well as data on scientific publications, litigation filings and acquisition activity. These data findings are discussed in detail and accompanied by commentary and industry perspectives from more than 20 of the world’s leading experts in AI; more complete Francis GURRY datasets, patent search methodology and Director General expert contributions are openly available on the WIPO website. We hope that this report will prove an invaluable resource for businesses, researchers and policymakers in the field, as well as for those general readers who want to find out how AI research has so far developed – and where it is going. The analysis offers unique insights into trends in AI techniques (i.e., the different approaches used in AI, such as machine learning and fuzzy logic), AI functional applications (such as natural language processing, speech processing and computer vision) and AI application fields (i.e., those industries and other sectors in which AI innovation is being WIPO Technology Trends 2019 7 Foreword Andrew Ng CEO, Landing AI and deeplearning.ai neural network, the better the neural network performed. We started looking for the biggest computers we could find. That discovery, and the idea of using distributed computing to scale up neural networks, led to the creation of Google Brain in 2011. Since then, deep learning has made great progress as we’ve collected more data and created the powerful computers to make it work. But we still have a long way to go in the field. For example, a toddler can usually recognize a cat after just one encounter, but a computer still needs more than one example to learn. We need to find ways to train computers on training datasets as small as 100, or even I remember watching the final chess match 10. Manufacturing lines, for example, use between Deep Blue and Gary Kasparov while computer vision to check for defects in parts I was a graduate student at MIT in the 1990s. but hopefully they will never have a million When Kasparov resigned, I jumped out of examples of defects to train on.

    Distant Music An autoethnographic study of global songwriting in the digital age. SHEILA SIMMENES SUPERVISOR Michael Rauhut University of Agder, 2020 Faculty of Fine Arts Department of Popular music 2 Abstract This thesis aims to explore the path to music creation and shed a light on how we may maneuver songwriting and music production in the digital age. As a songwriter in 2020, my work varies from being in the same physical room using digital communication with collaborators from different cultures and sometimes even without ever meeting face to face with the person I'm making music with. In this thesis I explore some of the opportunities and challenges of this process and shine a light on tendencies and trends in the field. As an autoethnographic research project, this thesis offers an insight into the songwriting process and continuous development of techniques by myself as a songwriter in the digital age, working both commercially and artistically with international partners across the world. The thesis will aim to supplement knowledge on current working methods in songwriting and will hopefully shine a light on how one may improve as a songwriter and topliner in the international market. We will explore the tools and possibilities available to us, while also reflecting upon what challenges and complications one may encounter as a songwriter in the digital age. 3 4 Acknowledgements I wish to express my gratitude to my supervisor Michael Rauhut for his insight, expertise and continued support during this work; associate professor Per Elias Drabløs for his kind advice and feedback; and to my artistic supervisor Bjørn Ole Rasch for his enthusiasm and knowledge in the field of world music and international collaborations.

  • Phillips, Michael Poster
    creation of industries Michael Phillips • CEO, Sense • Founder, Vlingo • Co-founder, SpeechWorks BIO: Mike Phillips is the CEO of Sense, a Cambridge-based company developing intelligent devices and applications for the home. Mike previously founded SpeechWorks in 1994, which applied emerging speech recognition technology to the call center industry and had an IPO in August 2000. In 2006, Mike founded Vlingo which developed the first voice-based virtual assistant applications for mobile phones. Vlingo had both a successful consumer facing application, and also powered virtual assistants for hundreds of millions of phones, including worldwide support for the Samsung Galaxy S phones. Vlingo was acquired in 2012 and Mike and others from Vlingo formed Sense in 2013. Mike got his start as an electrical engineer undergrad at CMU before moving on to research roles in the early days of speech recognition at CMU and MIT. ABSTRACT: From Impossible Research Projects to Creation of Industries In 1980, I was an undergrad at CMU and wandered into a professors office looking for a research project. That led to me joining a small group of people working on what seemed like an impossible problem: making computers which could understand human speech. In fact, it turns out it was an impossible problem at the time, but a lot has changed since then! A number of members of that small team have been instrumental in creating an industry around machine learning and conversation systems. Most of the successful speech recognition companies have been based on core teams with direct or indirect ties to CMU. I’ll discuss my path to starting multiple companies in the speech and natural language processing world and also how the core of what we built is now being used across multiple industries.

  • Siri App for Android Phone
    Siri app for android phone Continue If you watched last week's iPhone 4S ad from your Android phone and went a little green with envy when Siri, iOS's new voice-recognition personal assistant, was announced and demoted on stage, shake up. You have a lot of great voice recognition apps to choose from on Android that can help you keep up with friends, search the weather, find local businesses, and more. Here's a look at your options. If you haven't looked into voice recognition apps on Android before, you may be wondering how many apps get the job done. None of the apps currently available for Android are as well integrated with OS as Siri with iOS (sorry), but some are closer than others, and you can bet that they will all be updated and improved now that Siri is available for iOS. Best of all, they're all free. The one you already have: Google Voice ActionsIf you have an Android phone, you already have Google Voice Actions for Android installed. When everyone got their first look at Siri on the iPhone 4S, most people jumped at the assumption that Siri was just the voice of action for iOS. It's not - Siri does more than Voie Actions, but Voice Actions is the closest that Android users have to a voice assistant. Pros: Voice action can control a large swath of Android features. You can post phone calls, listen to music by the name of a track, artist, or album, send SMS or emails, get driving and step-by-step navigation, search the web, and more.

  • Fedora 4 API Extension (API-‐X) Architecture
    Fedora 4 API Extension (API-X) Architecture The Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University request $120,500 from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to develop a service proxy layer on top of the Fedora 4 software platform that will facilitate the exposure of repository contents and services as linked data web resources. This work was initially inspired by a redesign and refactoring of the Data Conservancy1 software, which was initially prototyped by the Sheridan Libraries and a network of partners through a grant from the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) DataNet program. Following the end of DataNet funding, the Data Conservancy decided to apply the lessons learned and redesign and refactor the entire architecture and software platform. The re-imagined Data Conservancy infrastructure builds upon Fedora 4, a digital object repository platform whose development is led by the nonprofit DuraSpace2 organization. IMLS wisely emphasizes that any national digital platform must leverage and extend existing technology. There is an existing user base of Fedora software for institutional repositories that will grow given the important enhancements and robustness offered by Fedora 4. By providing architecture to deploy repository services as lightweight extensions, institutions that use Fedora 4 for their institutional repository needs would be automatically positioned to extend their platforms for more robust data management. As federal funding agencies respond to the White OSTP memoranda regarding public access to publications and data, it is becoming clear that simply depositing and subsequently downloading data will not be sufficient. The proposed work supports a vision of data management where data are packaged with information graphs that capture and preserve connections to publications and software.3 The direct audience for the proposed API-X work is Fedora 4 software developers and repository managers who support a range of cultural heritage institutions including libraries, museums and archives.
