✨ My name is Lukas, and I am CTO and Co-Founder of a startup called Reverb Robotics Inc. where our goal is to bring Auditory Perception to Robotics.
I have a B.Sc. degree in Computer Science, M.Sc. in Neuroscience, and am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge. I have experience in software development and machine learning for robotics as well as other industries.
I am also a consultant who specializes in Machine Learning and AI. I would be glad to help you. You can find my contact info at https://lukasgrasse.com or feel free to drop an email to lukasgrasse@gmail.com.

I don't know if xcancel is getting hugged to death or blocks all of Canada or something, but I've been getting connection refused every time I've clicked on one of their links here.

they're also used a lot for training current TTS and audio codec models to output speech that sounds realistic.

I saw a snippet of a podcast on instagram recently where both the host and guest used the word delve, and it reminded me of a year or two ago when that was used as a telltale sign of LLM writing. Interesting to see it actually quantified.

Exactly this. At the university I went to a comp sci degree was mostly theoretical with a substantial overlap with mathematics (we could even substitute a certain amount of high level comp sci classes for mathematics classes if we wanted). When I took electives such as intro level neuroscience classes I was unprepared for the levels of memorization required.

This is what a liberal arts institution is (the university I went to is one). At my uni if you are taking a science degree you need to take 4 social science classes and 4 fine arts/humanities. and vice versa for students in fine arts/social sciences.

I think they mean Replit's CEO is the same guy.

If it's described in a paper doesn't that make it prior art though?

Does anyone know of an open-source TTS like this that can also encode speech to do voice conversion alongside TTS? i.e. a model that would take speech as input and convert it to one of the pretrained TTS voices.

The term neuromorphic? It was coined in 1990: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/58356

A good starting point is learning to use ROS https://ros.org/. Once you learn ROS you can interact with/use a wide variety of robots. Robotics is a fairly multidisciplinary field though, so it really depends on what area of robotics you are interested in.

Do you have examples of how this reference mapping is performed? I'm interested in this for embeddings in a different modality, but don't have as much experience on the NLP side of things

Is the approach being used to do accented TTS (or just reference recordings), and then a tone color conversion model that just changes the timbre? Because if I say a completely different sentence it still says the original words, haha.
