Top Tech Companies and Startups in Silicon Valley In this blog post we re going to look at the top tech companies and startups in Silicon Valley by amount of money raised We ll then slice and dice to see the top startups for each funding round stage like Series A Series B etc We re not going to include companies that have been acquired by other companies or companies that have satellite offices in the Silicon Valley area The companies on these lists all have their headquarters in Silicon Valley It s worth noting that Silicon Valley isn t a real geographic place Despite literally the most heavily traffic d post on Employbl being map of silicon valley companies Silicon Valley is only a geographic term in the loosest sense The term originates from the microchip days when defense spending poured into the area to make many in San Francisco very wealthy This term originated before the internet but especially took off in the s For the purposes of this post we re going to define Silicon Valley as existing in the following cities Menlo Park Mountain View Palo Alto Cupertino Redwood City San Bruno San Jose San Mateo Santa Clara and Sunnyvale Please note this completely excludes San Francisco If you re interested in learning about the history of Silicon Valley both the place and the term I recommend reading Margaret O Mara s book called The Code Without further ado let s look at

AI is already better at lip reading that we are |
https://www.engadget.com/ai-is-already-better-at-lip-reading-that-we-are-183016968.html?src=rss

AI is already better at lip reading that we areThey Shall Not Grow Old a documentary about the lives and aspirations of British and New Zealand soldiers living through World War I from acclaimed Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson had its hundred plus year old silent footage modernized through both colorization and the recording of new audio for previously non existent dialog To get an idea of what the folks featured in the archival footage were saying Jackson hired a team of forensic lip readers to guesstimate their recorded utterances Reportedly “the lip readers were so precise they were even able to determine the dialect and accent of the people speaking “These blokes did not live in a black and white silent world and this film is not about the war it s about the soldier s experience fighting the war Jackson told the Daily Sentinel in “I wanted the audience to see as close as possible what the soldiers saw and how they saw it and heard it That is quite the linguistic feat given that a study found that most people can only read lips with around percent accuracy and the CDC s Hearing Loss in Children Parent s Guide estimates that “a good speech reader might be able to see only to words in a word sentence Similarly a study out of the University of Oklahoma saw only around percent accuracy in its test subjects “Any individual who achieved a CUNY lip reading score of percent correct is considered an outlier giving them a T score of nearly three times the standard deviation from the mean A lip reading recognition accuracy score of percent correct places an individual standard deviations above the mean the study concluded “These results quantify the inherent difficulty in visual only sentence recognition For humans lip reading is a lot like batting in the Major Leagues ーconsistently get it right even just three times out of ten and you ll be among the best to ever play the game For modern machine learning systems lip reading is more like playing Go ーjust round after round of beating up on the meatsacks that created and enslaved you ーwith today s state of the art systems achieving well over percent sentence level word accuracy And as they continue to improve we could soon see a day where tasks from silent movie processing and silent dictation in public to biometric identification are handled by AI systems Context mattersWikipedia Public DomainNow one would think that humans would be better at lip reading by now given that we ve been officially practicing the technique since the days of Spanish Benedictine monk Pedro Ponce de León who is credited with pioneering the idea in the early th century “We usually think of speech as what we hear but the audible part of speech is only part of it Dr Fabian Campbell West CTO of lip reading app developer Liopa told Engadget via email “As we perceive it a person s speech can be divided into visual and auditory units The visual units called visemes are seen as lip movements The audible units called phonemes are heard as sound waves “When we re communicating with each other face to face is often preferred because we are sensitive to both visual and auditory information he continued “However there are approximately three times as many phonemes as visemes In other words lip movements alone do not contain as much information as the audible part of speech “Most lipreading actuations besides the lips and sometimes tongue and teeth are latent and difficult to disambiguate without context then Oxford University researcher and LipNet developer Yannis Assael noted in citing Fisher s earlier studies These homophemes are the secret to Bad Lip Reading s success What s wild is that Bad Lip Reading will generally work in any spoken language whether it s pitch accent like English or tonal like Vietnamese “Language does make a difference especially those with unique sounds that aren t common in other languages Campbell West said “Each language has syntax and pronunciation rules that will affect how it is interpreted Broadly speaking the methods for understanding are the same “Tonal languages are interesting because they use the same word with different tone like musical pitch changes to convey meaning he continued “Intuitively this would present a challenge for lip reading however research shows that it s still possible to interpret speech this way Part of the reason is that changing tone requires physiological changes that can manifest visually Lip reading is also done over time so the context of previous visemes words and phrases can help with understanding “It matters in terms of how good your knowledge of the language is because you re basically limiting the set of ambiguities that you can search for Adrian KC Lee ScD Professor and Chair of the Speech and Hearing Sciences Department Speech and Hearing Sciences at University of Washington told Engadget “Say cold and hold right If you just sit in front of a mirror you can t really tell the difference So from a physical point of view it s impossible but if I m holding something versus talking about the weather you by the context already know In addition to the general context of the larger conversion much of what people convey when they speak comes across non verbally “Communication is usually easier when you can see the person as well as hear them Campbell West said “but the recent proliferation of video calls has shown us all that it s not just about seeing the person there s a lot more nuance There is a lot more potential for building intelligent automated systems for understanding human communication than what is currently possible Missing a forest for the trees linguisticallyWhile human and machine lip readers have the same general end goal the aims of their individual processes differ greatly As a team of researchers from Iran University of Science and Technology argued in “Over the past years several methods have been proposed for a person to lip read but there is an important difference between these methods and the lip reading methods suggested in AI The purpose of the proposed methods for lip reading by the machine is to convert visual information into words…However the main purpose of lip reading by humans is to understand the meaning of speech and not to understand every single word of speech In short “humans are generally lazy and rely on context because we have a lot of prior knowledge Lee explained And it s that dissonance in process ーthe linguistic equivalent of missing a forest for the trees ーthat presents such a unique challenge to the goal of automating lip reading “A major obstacle in the study of lipreading is the lack of a standard and practical database said Hao “The size and quality of the database determine the training effect of this model and a perfect database will also promote the discovery and solution of more and more complex and difficult problems in lipreading tasks Other obstacles can include environmental factors like poor lighting and shifting backgrounds which can confound machine vision systems as can variances due the speaker s skin tone the rotational angle of their head which shifts the viewed angle of the mouth and the obscuring presence of wrinkles and beards As Assael notes “Machine lipreading is difficult because it requires extracting spatiotemporal features from the video since both position and motion are important However as Mingfeng Hao of Xinjiang University explains in s A Survey on Lip Reading Technology “action recognition which belongs to video classification can be classified through a single image So “while lipreading often needs to extract the features related to the speech content from a single image and analyze the time relationship between the whole sequence of images to infer the content “It s an obstacle that requires both natural language processing and machine vision capabilities to overcome Acronym soupToday speech recognition comes in three flavors depending on the input source What we re talking about today falls under Visual Speech Recognition VSR research ーthat is using only visual means to understand what is being conveyed Conversely there s Automated Speech Recognition ASR which relies entirely on audio ie “Hey Siri and Audio Visual Automated Speech Recognition AV ASR which incorporates both audio and visual cues into its guesses “Research into automatic speech recognition ASR is extremely mature and the current state of the art is unrecognizable compared to what was possible when the research started Campbell West said “Visual speech recognition VSR is still at the relatively early stages of exploitation and systems will continue to mature Liopa s SRAVI app which enables hospital patients to communicate regardless of whether they can actively verbalize relies on the latter methodology “This can use both modes of information to help overcome the deficiencies of the other he said “In future there will absolutely be systems that use additional cues to support understanding “There are several differences between VSR implementations Campbell West continued “From a technical perspective the architecture of how the models are built is different …Deep learning problems can be approached from two different angles The first is looking for the best possible architecture the second is using a large amount of data to cover as much variation as possible Both approaches are important and can be combined In the early days of VSR research datasets like AVLetters had to be hand labeled and categorized a labor intensive limitation that severely restricted the amount of data available for training machine learning models As such initial research focused first on the absolute basics ーalphabet and number level identification ーbefore eventually advancing to word and phrase level identification with sentence level being today s state of the art which seeks to understand human speech in more natural settings and situations In recent years the rise of more advanced deep learning techniques which train models on essentially the internet at large along with the massive expansion of social and visual media posted online have enabled researchers to generate far larger datasets like the Oxford BBC Lip Reading Sentences LRS which is based on thousands of spoken lines from various BBC programs LRS TED gleaned sentences from various TED programs while the LSVSR Large Scale Visual Speech Recognition database among the largest currently in existence offers hours of audio segments with speech statements and over words And it s not just English Similar datasets exist for a number of languages such as HIT AVDB II which is based on a set of Chinese poems or IV a French database composed of people saying the same phrases Similar sets exist too for Russian Spanish and Czech language applications Looking aheadVSR s future could wind up looking a lot like ASR s past says Campbell West “There are many barriers for adoption of VSR as there were for ASR during its development over the last few decades Privacy is a big one of course Though the younger generations are less inhibited with documenting their lives on line Campbell West said “people are rightly more aware of privacy now then they were before People may tolerate a microphone while not tolerating a camera Regardless Campbell West remains excited about VSR s potential future applications such as high fidelity automated captioning “I envisage a real time subtitling system so you can get live subtitles in your glasses when speaking to someone Campbell West said “For anyone hard of hearing this could be a life changing application but even for general use in noisy environments this could be useful “There are circumstances where noise makes ASR very difficult but voice control is advantageous such as in a car he continued “VSR could help these systems become better and safer for the driver and passengers On the other hand Lee whose lab at UW has researched Brain Computer Interface technologies extensively sees wearable text displays more as a “stopgap measure until BCI tech further matures “We don t necessarily want to sell BCI to that point where Okay we re gonna do brain to brain communication without even talking out loud “Lee said “In a decade or so you ll find biological signals being leveraged in hearing aids for sure As little as the device seeing where your eyes glance may be able to give it a clue on where to focus listening “I hesitate to really say oh yeah we re gonna get brain controlled hearing aids Lee conceded “I think it is doable but you know it will take time |
