Enter 'space' to test the AI: Responsive Architecture: The home to come

As artificial intelligence (AI) technology progressively integrates into daily life and domestic environments, it instigates a pressing inquiry: What new spatial implications can arise from the integration of artificially intelligent technologies within homes, and what role can these AI technologies play in reinforcing social interaction among...

Towards Natural Language Understanding using Multimodal Deep Learning

This thesis describes how multimodal sensor data from a 3D sensor and microphone array can be processed with deep neural networks such that its fusion, the trained neural network, is a) more robust to noise, b) outperforms unimodal recognition and c) enhances unimodal recognition in absence of multimodal data. We built a framework for a complete...

Learning the Model Structure of Dynamic Bayesian Networks for Automated Speech Recognition

Improving the performance of Automated Speech Recognition system requires incorporating more knowledge in the model of Automated Speech Recognition system. Information such as the context of the conversation and the characteristics of the speaker can make the task of recognizing speech more accurate. The challenge is how this knowledge can be...
