Speech Processing: How to Wreck a Nice Peach

Synopsis
Alexa, Siri and Cortana are among a number of voice-enabled digital assistants that can not only speak to us but understand us. Sci-fi films had talking computers many years ago. Why has it taken so long to crack the speech processing puzzle? Why do we find speech processing so effortless and machines find it so daunting? And what progress can we expect in the next few years. Part of a series in which Professor of IT Richard Harvey looks at the science of information and explores some of the latest advances in computer technology. This lecture is also available to download as audio file.
