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

// 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.
