🐝New preprint🐝 If you want open source speech technology that's actually optimized for your target language, BuzzASR might be your best option! All models on Huggingface 🤗 Congrats to @realshivamsingh on an amazing first paper!! Appearing in EMNLP Findings.

1/ Every language is unique, but the big AI companies release a single model to cover dozens of languages at once. BuzzASR 🐝 takes a different approach: We release a swarm of 102 monolingual speech recognition models, beating Whisper on 77 languages and achieving SOTA on 27.

So excited this work was recognized! We've only scratched the surface of prosodic typology, and I'm even more excited to probe deeper 🔬

So excited about this line of work 👨‍🔬 We use LLMs as a tool 🔧 to better understand linguistic typology: Their ability to learn complex probability distributions 📊 gives quantitative insights into the different strategies languages use to transmit information through prosody 🎶

I'm in need of NINE emergency reviews for ACL ARR. Over 1/3 of my reviewers are nonresponsive, I think that's a personal record 🙃 Please let me know if you can take on some of these!!
