UC Berkeley researchers detect ‘silent speech’ with electrodes and AI

November 26, 2020
UC Berkeley researchers say they are the first to train AI using using silently mouthed words and sensors that collect muscle activity. Silent speech is detected using electromyography (EMG), with electrodes placed on the face and throat. The model focuses on what researchers call digital voicing to predict words and generate synthetic speech. Researchers believe their method can enable a number…

IBM claims its AI can improve neonatal outcomes and predict the onset of Type 1 diabetes

November 26, 2020
IBM this week presented research investigating how AI and machine learning could be used to improve maternal health in developing countries and predict the onset and progression of Type 1 diabetes. In a study funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, IBM researchers built models to analyze demographic datasets from African countries, finding “data-supported” links between the number of…
