About this event
Priberam Machine Learning Lunch Seminar
Abstract:
Discrete speech tokenization is a surprisingly effective technique to adapt text language models to speech. But despite the simplicity of the method, the nature of the units it produces is not widely understood. In this talk, I ask some questions (and hopefully answer a few) about how, when, and why discrete speech tokens work.
