Research
A Brief History of Large Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) are based on artificial neural networks, and recent improvements in deep learning have supported their development.
The use of deep learning for phase recovery
Light, as an electromagnetic field, has two essential components: amplitude and phase. However, optical detectors, usually relying on photon-to-electron conversion (such as charge-coupled device sensors and the human eye), cannot capture the phase of the light field because of their limited sampling frequency.
Deep causal speech enhancement and recognition using efficient long-short term memory Recurrent Neural Network
The experimental evaluations using short-time objective intelligibility (STOI) and perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) have demonstrated that the proposed model with robust feature representation obtained higher speech intelligibility and perceptual quality.
