Research Population based training of neural networks Published 27 November 2017 Authors Max Jaderberg Neural networks have shown great success in everything from playing Go and Atari games to image recognition and language translation. But often overlooked is that the success of a neural network at a particular application is often determined by a series of choices made at the start of the resear

To understand why WaveNet improves on the current state of the art, it is useful to understand how text-to-speech (TTS) - or speech synthesis - systems work today. The majority of these are based on so-called concatenative TTS, which uses a large database of high-quality recordings, collected from a single voice actor over many hours. These recordings are split into tiny chunks that can then be co

Research WaveNet: A generative model for raw audio Published 8 September 2016 Authors Aäron van den Oord, Sander Dieleman This post presents WaveNet, a deep generative model of raw audio waveforms. We show that WaveNets are able to generate speech which mimics any human voice and which sounds more natural than the best existing Text-to-Speech systems, reducing the gap with human performance by ove

The story of AlphaGo so farAlphaGo is the first computer program to defeat a professional human Go player, the first program to defeat a Go world champion, and arguably the strongest Go player in history. AlphaGo’s first formal match was against the reigning 3-times European Champion, Mr Fan Hui, in October 2015. Its 5-0 win was the first ever against a Go professional, and the results were publis
