Most DL practitioners know that the marvels we are capable of today would not have happened the way that they have if it wasn't for a brilliant man called Frank Rosenblatt.
Of course Alan Turing and others deserve their share of praise but it was Rosenblatt who in 1958, thanks to influential patrons like Cornell University and others, unveiled the first learning machine. The device was fed a series of punch cards and after 50 trials, it taught itself to distinguish cards marked on the left from cards marked on the right. The algorithm ran on an IBM 704. It weighed 5 tons and was as big as a room.
Many truly remarkable things have happened since then. Yann LeCun introduced the World to Convolutions, Ian Goodfellow thought up Generative Adversarial networks, Ilya Sutskever revolutionized sequence transduction with Seq2Seq only to be dethroned by Ashish Vaswami and the Transformer. The LambdaVoice Team uses all of these tools in our research.
Our goal with this blog is simply to share things we've learned during our research on the Human Voice, Sound Energy and Conversation Dynamics.
