Improving Thai-Dialect Automatic Speech Recognition With Curriculum Learning, Artit Suwanbandit

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) has been the foremost feature and integrated in many real-world usages for decades. The novel deep learning approaches prevail in the ASR field as a model architecture. However, ASR still struggles with low-resource data, especially in the Thai dialectal language. Transfer learning is the conventional approach in the machine learning field for escalating the performance of low-resource settings. In the scenario that additional fine-tuning tasks are not achievable, exerting all efficiency of target data is an accountability.

Ontolog Summit 2024 Talk Report: Healthcare Assistance Challenges-Driven Neurosymbolic Ai, Kaushik Roy

Publications

Although Artificial Intelligence technology has proven effective in providing healthcare assistance by analyzing health data, it still falls short in supporting decision-making. This deficiency largely stems from the predominance of opaque neural networks, particularly in mental health care AI applications, which raise concerns about their unpredictable and unverifiable nature. This skepticism hinders the transition from information support to decision support. This presentation will explore neurosymbolic approaches that combine neural networks with symbolic control and verification mechanisms. These approaches aim to unlock AI’s full potential by enhancing information analysis and decision-making support for healthcare assistance1.
