It's here!!! The Pulse of the Library Report. Responses from over 1500 academic, public, and state librarians. We cover AI topics, library trends, library challenges, and the big questions facing the industry in 2024. Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/ec95FdZM

Scalmalloy Guru is born! #AI is a big buzzword at the moment, but there are already some very simple and practical use-cases. We have always hosted resources about #scalmalloy on our website, but now we have added a chatbot trained on all those resources, so that instead of reading them all, you can just ask it questions. You can find it here: https://lnkd.in/e9kECx9z It might sometimes give weird answers - if so please let us know so we can 'discipline' it (there is no such thing as cruelty to AI) ;-) #additivemanufacturing #3dprinting

A new report finds that AI matches or outperforms people at tasks such as competitive math and reading comprehension https://trib.al/aK7jEr0

My article, "Are we Ready for the Future? Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Grey Literature Management" reached 700 reads on the ResearchGate. You might find it interesting. Its full text is available here: https://lnkd.in/gRXFiJwq

Best book, in my view, since "The Coming Wave" discussing artificial intelligence. CxOs, leaders, everyone in tech, parents and students (over 18) should all consider. We are very quickly entering a very new world... This interview of Eric Schmidt provides a high level overview but the book itself is dramatically better and worth the full read.

I'm very excited to share our latest paper, "LiveSpeech: Low-Latency Zero-shot Text-to-Speech via Autoregressive Modeling of Audio Discrete Codes", which presents a novel approach to zero-shot text-to-speech in low-latency scenarios. This paper has been accepted into INTERSPEECH 2024. Working alongside my coauthors Trung Dang, Dung Tran, and Kazuhito Koishida, we have developed a fully autoregressive language model-based technique that allows for low-latency streaming of output audio. To enable multiple token prediction within a single decoding step, we propose: 1) Using adaptive codebook loss weights that consider codebook contribution in each frame and focus on hard instances. 2) Grouping codebooks and processing groups in parallel. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed models achieve competitive results compared to state-of-the-art baselines in terms of content accuracy, speaker similarity, audio quality, and inference speed while being suitable for low-latency streaming applications.

Its that time of the year again, lots to read and digest here. I am specifically interested in reading about the risks, bias, policy and governance along with the benefits from accelerated scientific progress.

We're living in a world of artificial intelligence – it's academic publishing that needs to change: The academic publishing community has been rocked by stories of authors using generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to write articles and create ... http://dlvr.it/TGmQP1
