AI mornings: Unlocking Value from Customer Conversations with Speech-to-Meaning

Details

// About the Speaker:
Nicolas Perony is the CTO of OTO.ai, a San Francisco/Zurich spin-off of SRI International (Siri, Nuance) that built a real-time platform to decode the subtle emotional and behavioural cues hidden in human speech. He holds a PhD in complex systems from ETH Zurich, where his research focused on modelling social behaviour at scale. Prior to founding OTO, he led the AI team at Hyperloop Transportation Technologies, and held various data-oriented roles in industries ranging from blockchain to sustainability.

// About OTO.ai: Enabling Speech-to-Meaning with Acoustic Language Processing.
While machines are getting better at understanding our commands (speech-to-text), they still fail to grasp the meaning in our conversations, because speech is about more than words. OTO, a spin-off of SRI International's Speech Lab, is introducing a revolutionary new real-time acoustic technology and modelling framework called Acoustic Language Processing to allow computers to understand the rich nuance of human spoken communication.

Focus of this AI mornings Pantalk: Unlocking Value from Customer Conversations with Speech-to-Meaning

// What are the Pantalks AI mornings about?
Nowadays you have numerous options to get informed about Artificial Intelligence (AI) achievements and progresses.

Actually, it can even be overwhelming, as everyone claims to have embraced AI and is “fully taking advantage” of this amazing new way of sorting through data. It may even make you feel a tech slacker or that you are missing the the-next-great-thing boat.

// Beyond buzzwords!
Pantalks AI mornings presents applied machine learning use cases that serve real business needs and leaves aside over-inflated claims.

Attend these short (45 min) morning sessions prior to starting your work day and get a rapid understanding of applied AI business cases and their integration implications.

// Are the Pantalks AI mornings for me?
Traditionally Pantalks are visited by decision-makers, innovators, entrepreneurs, executives, thinkers, and doers to explore innovative technologies as well as their societal impacts. It’s also an Impact Hub Community event! Get your seat. We'd love to see you there!

Time: 8.00 - 8.45: coffee & gipfeli, introduction, presentation, Q&A, open discussion.
