Complexity: Speech coding algorithms are in general computation intensive. As a result, they are typically implemented on programmable digital signal processors (DSPs) that are optimized for signal ...

Algorithms decide what content is shown and in which order and we believe it warrants a closer look at the debate about how free speech is practiced online.

16.2 Introduction The various speech coding algorithms we studied in the previous chapter rely heavily on the speech production model to identify structures in the speech signal that can be used for ...

A unique aspect of the LE2 is its ability to adapt to various workloads through the use of C-designed plug-in vector datapaths. This section elaborates on the design of a custom vector ISA for ...

Until we are regulating this use of algorithms, and the monetization logic that underpins it, speech on social media will never be free in any genuine sense of the word.

The MPEG-4 audio coding algorithm family spans the range from low bit-rate speech coding (down to 2 kbits/second) to high-quality audio coding (at 64 kbits/s per channel and higher). Advanced audio ...

Introducing the topic, Faris, Mele, and Havlicek pointed to the enormous gap—in terms of resourcing, activism, and even basic research—between the problems of harmful speech online and the available ...

Are the vaunted algorithms that power social media not nearly as powerful as we believe? Or if they are, why doesn’t Silicon Valley simply code hate speech right out of existence?

Facebook said Nov. 13 it was removing more hate speech than ever before. But in minority languages around the world, it's falling short.
