aiOla is a global leader (based in Herzliya; Israel) in advanced AI speech technology. aiOla announced days ago that Prof. Dr. Bhiksha Raj, a renowned automatic speech recognition researcher with over 550 published papers, is joining aiOla as their Distinguished Scientist.
“We’re entering a new era of AI built on the foundation laid by academia, with industries now accelerating AI’s advancement and delivering its benefits directly to the public.” (Bhiksha Raj)
Dr. Raj will work closely with aiOla’s Chief Scientist, Prof. Dr. Yossi Keshet, one of the top-cited spoken language processing researchers worldwide.
The collaboration of these two longtime friends and experts at aiOla marks a significant milestone, setting the stage for major advancements in AI-powered speech innovation.
Dr. Raj played a pivotal role in developing CMU Sphinx, one of the earliest and most widely used open-source speech recognition systems. With over 2.5 million downloads, CMU Sphinx has been instrumental in advancing speech technology and has served as the foundation for numerous companies in the field.
aiOla’s patented technology comprehends over 120 languages, and discerns jargon, abbreviations and acronyms, demonstrating a low error rate even in noisy environments. aiOla’s technology converts manual processes in critical industries into data-driven, paperless, AI-powered workflows through cutting-edge speech recognition.
The next step in the AI industry will be to incorporate philosophy. As David Deutsch once said, the major breakthrough in Artificial Intelligence (AI) will come with philosophy as disruptive philosophy. Just one thought might be needed.
