Meta is set to start mining users’ conversations with its chatbot to target ads and content across all Meta platforms, including Facebook and Instagram. The article Meta will start using chatbot conversations to target ads across all major platforms appeared…
Optimizing only for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Word Error Rate (WER) is insufficient for modern, interactive voice agents. Robust evaluation must measure end-to-end task success, barge-in behavior and latency, and hallucination-under-noise—alongside ASR, safety, and instruction following. VoiceBench offers a…
Can a speech enhancer trained only on real noisy recordings cleanly separate speech and noise—without ever seeing paired data? A team of researchers from Brno University of Technology and Johns Hopkins University proposes Unsupervised Speech Enhancement using Data-defined Priors (USE-DDP),…
In the race to automate everything – from customer service to code – AI is being heralded as a silver bullet. The narrative is seductive: AI tools that can write entire applications, streamline engineering teams and reduce the need for…
We will build a Regression Language Model (RLM), a model that predicts continuous numerical values directly from text sequences in this coding implementation. Instead of classifying or generating text, we focus on training a transformer-based architecture that learns quantitative relationships…
What if, instead of re-sampling one agent, you could push Gemini-2.5 Pro to 34.1% on HLE by mixing 12–15 tool-using agents that share notes and stop early? Google Cloud AI Research, with collaborators from MIT, Harvard, and Google DeepMind, introduced…
A cycle-accurate alternative to speculation — unifying scalar, vector and matrix computeFor more than half a century, computing has relied on the Von Neumann or Harvard model. Nearly every modern chip — CPUs, GPUs and even many specialized accelerators —…
A close examination of this year’s military contracts reveals some interesting things.
Hundreds of Eufy customers have donated hundreds of thousands of videos to train the company’s AI systems.
Amazon Prime Day is back, starting on October 7, but we’ve already found good deals on WIRED-approved gear.
