There are various definitions of audio denoising. For the purposes of this project we interpret audio denoising to be the removal of any sound other than the primary speaker's voice. Thalles Santos Silva covers the mathematical concepts behind denoising and the CNN in his 2019 article. He also provides background information about the two datasets involved (Mozilla Common Voice English dataset and the UrbanSound8k dataset).

In this piece we describe how we built a reasonably performing Voice Recognition System with PyTorch, using deep learning Computer Vision techniques. With results as good as 90.2% accuracy using different training and testing samples, with only 25% of the original dataset size, we demonstrate how it is currently possible for different AI domains to leverage knowledge from each other to improve their techniques and outcomes.

In the last 2 decades, with the increasing availability of sensors and the popularity of the internet, data has never been so ubiquitous. Yet, having access to personal data to perform statistical analysis is hard. In fact, that is one of the main reasons we, as data analysts, spend so much time doing research using “toy” datasets, instead of using real-world data.

Organizations that rely heavily on open source dependencies face a myriad of risks concerning the license models of each dependency, as well as, how vulnerable to threats they are. Adding a degree of code surveillance is a must for enterprises that want to mitigate financial and security risks, and brand exposure.

How business requirements can prevent you from using available Machine Learning tools and what to do about it. -- When hearing the term Convex Optimization, most people will immediately start talking about how gradient descent is the most awesome thing there is, how we can add momentum to it, how can we choose, adapt, or even circumvent the choice of the step-size parameter, and so on. However, in reality, convex optimization goes well beyond gradient descent and its variants.

In this article, we tackle the problem of speech de-noising using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Given a noisy input signal, we aim to build a statistical model that can extract the clean signal (the source) and return it to the user. Here, we focus on source separation of regular speech signals from ten different types of noise often found in an urban street environment.

Face recognition is probably one of the long-awaited technologies of recent decades. From Hollywood movies and TV sci-fi series to actual cell phone solutions, the face seems to be the perfect authenticator. But, despite the hype, the tech didn’t look ready for a long time. However, recent advances in machine learning seem to be worth the wait. To get an idea, let’s take a look at what the big four tech companies are doing in this area.
