Natural Language Processing: Crash Course Computer Science #36
Natural Language Processing: Crash Course Computer Science #36
Today we’re going to talk about how computers understand speech and speak themselves. As computers play an increasing role in our daily lives there has been an growing demand for voice user interfaces, but speech is also terribly complicated. Vocabularies are diverse, sentence structures can often dictate the meaning of certain words, and computers also have to deal with accents, mispronunciations, and many common linguistic faux pas. The field of Natural Language Processing, or NLP, attempts to solve these problems, with a number of techniques we’ll discuss today. And even though our virtual assistants like Siri, Alexa, Google Home, Bixby, and Cortana have come a long way from the first speech processing and synthesis models, there is still much room for improvement.

What bothers me about those "speech recognizers" is. Most of the time we humans don’t say things like "I <pause> am <pause> going <pause> to <pause> …". But talk more like this "Am goingto" (yes, I exaggerated a bit). So, we combine two words, because you talk faster. Or we even skip words. But the computer is programmed to recognize each word individually. Which isn’t the way humans naturally speak.
what software do you use for editing?
Omg, your videos are good, but you speak really fast. Could you improve that?
Who did she see?
She saw me…
Who saw you?
She saw me…
Did she see you or hear you?
She saw me!
I mean all I got was the surveillance. Then again, as a tool this is so cool.
Excellent video!
Hm hm , great but a bit sleepy for a weak body of me
Great introduction to a very complex area!
I like the robotic voices though ;/
New we have bot spams…
Ahhh there’s the problem, she used Siri…
Your voice is so sweet… I can recognize the sweetness of your voice… ❤️❤️💋💋
Do you breath sometimes ?
Even Siri can’t follow you 😉
Absolutely fantastic video. A great overview of the topic making it easy for me to learn more about the parts that interest me. I will be watching more of these this weekend
A video on
1) firmware, drivers, microcontroller, daq and PLD
2) database
Would be very useful and complete…
Your enthusiasm is awesome.
I’m amazed by the Mac in the background.
This is awesome you rock comp sci goddess.
Very impressive young lady, Thks
Great vid, slow down a tiny bit tho 🙂
This makes me want a crash course linguistics so bad.
Fascinating, thank you.
I wonder if there are some academic papers that introducing these concepts? I hope wish I can find good citation for my dissertation, thank you!
She saw me
If you still have a Windows XP computer, or if you have access to Microsoft Sam (the voice of Narrator in Windows XP), replace the sample text with "soy" or "soi", and you’ll hear a strange sound.
Omg like x1000. Great coverage girl…
The best part of this video is when she spoke in Shakespearean to Siri. Who here can also fluently speak this language? I know I can.
Plz speak slowly all crash course watchers are non native speakers.
Thank you, Carrie. Great explanation!
pro tip, turn the 12 minute video into 15. Give the viewer consistent and natural pauses between sentences and concepts, and let them absorb the information. If people want to speed it up they can, but at least the pauses are natural.
I love how you gave an example with Siri! Thank you for all your work! You are amazing.
apart from the vocabularies concept can you give short description on Entity extraction, aspect of entity extraction , like how can these interrelate to Natural language processing.
Good and Interesting!😀😁
It’s just crazy how much of the development of computers was helped by government. Kinda destroys the whole right wing argument about how it’s only capitalism that makes a change in technology. And also, these videos are co-produced PBS, funded by the American government. If you learnt something, thank the US, I guess.
great stuff!!
Brilliant
Hey, that’s a copy of Mitnick’s "Ghost in the Wires" in the background!
LMAOOOOO I had my phone with me and siri was activated on my phone while this video was playing hahahaha I was like WTF hahaha
Damn, she speaks faaaaaast !!
Too fast rate of speech makes the information lost.
carrie anne looks like fish
thanks for this information I will take a 10 in my class of english
9:49 my brain cells are dead now.
Do you, as AI makers, identify as humans because I can see it benefiting humanity trickling down from the AI-creator elites getting max power but once you’ve fully quantized a human, reproduced one, and surpassed one.. why would you care about a biological one, or is ‘human’ obsolete and to survive we MUST augment to AI then full upload to the AI-net?
Is a chatbot considered A.I.? I always thought it was.
even she is like a bot…. 200 + words per minute ….. better she can start rapping…
I am PG Students from India Linguistics ,but I studied General Linguistics in master degree, can anybody guide me self learning Computational Linguistics course available???? Pls.

Damn, Computer Science is so exciting.
