☆ Data scientists describe the arduous, AI-powered task of getting Amazon's Alexa to speak in an Irish lilt

Two scientists at Amazon used artificial intelligence to help them make Alexa Irish. The team trained Alexa on accents generated by text-to-speech models. This then helped them identify distinctive aspects of the Irish accent to train Irish Alexa. Using an already existing Alexa model that speaks in a British accent as a baseline, the data scientists trained it on the Irish accents provided by text-to-speech models as well as voice recordings, the Times reported. They later zeroed in and modified certain sounds — for example, emphasizing the "r" sounds in words much like an Irish person would — to create the voice that eventually accompanied Irish Alexa.

☆ How Amazon Taught Alexa to Speak in an Irish Brogue
  + stars: | 2023-07-01 | by ( Bernhard Warner | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Alexa had dropped the “r” in “party,” making the word sound flat, like pah-tee. The technologists are part of a team at Amazon working on a challenging area of data science known as voice disentanglement. Tackling voice disentanglement involves far more than grasping vocabulary and syntax. Such work may eventually converge with an explosion of “generative A.I.,” a technology that enables chatbots to generate their own responses, researchers said. At the same time, voice assistants like Alexa and Apple’s Siri will become more conversational, potentially rekindling consumer interest in a tech segment that had seemingly stalled, analysts said.
