The Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) is participating in the 2024 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, being held from August 31 to September 5 in Greece. The conference features a significant international presence of major technology companies and artificial intelligence (AI) experts. During the conference, SDAIA addressed the topic of code-switching within sentences (CS), a common phenomenon in spoken languages that presents a significant challenge for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems. This is particularly relevant for those studying comparative linguistic phenomena, given the rarity of suitable data and the complexities of Arabic dialects. The presentation focused on leveraging advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) to enhance CS-ASR systems by generating text data that includes code-switching between Arabic and English. The International Conference on Speech Processing Techn ologies is one of the leading global events in acoustic technologies. SDAIA is a pioneer in this field with its Voice system, developed by Saudi expertise. This system allows speech-to-text conversion in Modern Standard Arabic and various Arabic dialects. It can be used for automating meeting transcriptions, developing chatbots, and building interactive voice systems. SDAIA's contribution to the conference includes sponsoring a workshop -- SyNDATA4GENAI 2024 -- in collaboration with SCAI, organized by several experts. SDAIA is keen to participate in such major events to highlight the importance of advanced technologies and the progress achieved by Saudi Arabia in this field. Source: Saudi Press Agency
