Exploring Different Text-to-Speech (TTS) Models: From Robotic to Natural Voices

Text-to-speech (TTS) technology has evolved significantly in the past few years, enabling one to convert simple text to spoken words with remarkable accuracy and naturalness. From simple robotic voices to sophisticated, human-like speech synthesis, models offer specialized capabilities applicable to different use cases. In this blog, we will explore how different TTS models generate speech from text as well as compare their capabilities, models explored include MARS-5, Parler-TTS, Tortoise-TTS, MetaVoice-1B, Coqui TTS among others. The TTS process generally involves several key steps discussed later in detail: input text and reference audio, text processing, voice synthesis and then the final audio is outputted. Some models enhance this process by supporting few-shot or zero-shot learning, where a new voice can be generated based on minimal reference audio. Let's delve into how some of the leading TTS models perform these tasks.

A Beginner’s Guide to Automated Testing

A cursory prompt to chatGPT asking for guidance into the world of automated testing, spits out the words Selenium and Taiko. This blog post will explore our hands-on experience with these tools and share insights into how they performed in real-world testing scenarios. But first what is automated testing? Automated testing refers to the process of using specialized tools to run predefined tests on software applications automatically.

AI and Content Moderation: Various Approaches for Online Safety

The sheer volume of content generated on the internet is astounding: 500 million tweets daily, 50 billion Instagram photos, and 700,000 hours of YouTube video each day. The World Economic Forum estimates that 463 exabytes of data are generated daily, with one exabyte equaling one billion gigabytes. This digital deluge presents an unprecedented challenge for content moderation. As we find ourselves at the intersection of free expression and responsible oversight, it’s evident that traditional content moderation methods are struggling to keep pace with the massive influx of information. In this critical moment, AI emerges as a promising solution to manage vast amounts of information. How can AI tackle the challenge of moderating content on a large scale, while safeguarding the content diversity?

This evolution challenges our ability to differentiate, highlighting the growing influence of AI in content creation.

The Power of Perception: Mapping a Story through Human and AI Eyes

At Random Walk, we’re always curious about the ways humans and technology interact, especially when it comes to interpreting and visualizing information. Our latest challenge was both fascinating and revealing: Can AI tools outperform humans in creating a map based on a story? We began with a passage from a book that provided a detailed description of a landscape, landmarks, and directions: At 7:35 A.M. Ishigami left his apartment as he did every weekday morning. Just before stepping out onto the street, he glanced at the mostly full bicycle lot, noting the absence of the green bicycle. Though it was already March, the wind was bitingly cold. He walked with his head down, burying his chin in his scarf. A short way to the south, about twenty yards, ran Shin-Ohashi Road. From that intersection, the road ran east into the Edogawa district, west towards Nihonbashi. Just before Nihonbashi, it crossed the Sumida River at the Shin-Ohashi Bridge. The quickest route from Ishigami’s apartment to his workplace was due south. It was only a quarter mile or so to Seicho Garden Park. He worked at the private high school just before the park. He was a teacher. He taught math. Ishigami walked south to the red light at the intersection, then he turned right, towards Shin-Ohashi Bridge. Using this description, we were tasked with manually sketching a map. It was a test of our ability to translate words into a visual representation, relying on our interpretation of the narrative. Then came the second part of the experiment: feeding the same description into AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Ideogram, and Mistral AI, asking them to generate their versions of the map.

AI Bias: Challenges and Solutions for Business and Users

Human bias refers to the systematic errors in judgment or decision-making that result from subjective factors such as cultural influences, personal experiences, and societal stereotypes. It often leads individuals to make unfair or inaccurate judgments based on factors such as race, gender, or other irrelevant characteristics. Similarly, AI systems, designed by humans, can inherit and perpetuate biases due to flaws in the data used to train them or the algorithms themselves. AI bias can manifest in various forms, such as amplifying existing societal biases present in the training data or making inaccurate predictions for certain groups based on biased patterns learned during the training process. Unaddressed bias obstructs individuals’ economic and societal engagement while limiting AI’s efficiency. Distorted outcomes from biased systems hinder businesses and breed mistrust among marginalized groups. Addressing AI bias is crucial to ensure that AI systems make fair and equitable decisions across diverse populations.
