Students from all over the world at our 2nd Speech Tech Summer School had a terrific visit to @FryskeAkademy and the @MercatorCentre -- a memorable experience!

[Mercator European Research Centre @MercatorCentre]

The students who participated in the @LangTechCult Summer School on Speech Technology at @CampusFryslan @univgroningen, visited Mercator/@FryskeAkademy yesterday afternoon to conclude the day in a fun way. 🍻😃 Tsjoch!

[Summer Schools - University of Groningen @UGsummerschools]

We joined the Speech Technology #summerschool led by @mlcoler today at @CampusFryslan, #Leeuwarden for their ethic workshop where they worked in small groups! The ideas they came up with were very inspiring and thought provoking👏

💯 It's high time to think more creatively about data for speech tech and about how to do more with less. Small data can drive big innovations!

[Tim Hayden @TheTimHayden]

Back to our exchange on tribal and institutional #data yesterday, @jowyang, I dig how @mlcoler and Speech Lab Groningen trained AI models on 90's sitcoms to recognize sarcasm.

If we continue to look at only what is in our system of cloud storage and databases, we are missing a screaming majority of human intelligence needed for #AI.
