Ever since Apple introduced Siri a few years ago to rival Android’s voice assistant, speech-to-text has been a staple tool in Apple’s and Google’s mobile ecosystems. After the initial introduction, Apple opened up the API to developers, allowing them to write apps that make heavy use of speech-to-text transcription. As part of a project for one of our clients, we implemented a speech-to-text transcription feature that takes advantage of the Apple transcription API. To our client’s delight, we were able to successfully integrate transcription into the app. The only shortcoming was the lack of any punctuation marks in the transcriptions produced by Apple’s SFSpeechRecognizer.

How Machine Learning and Hyperspectral Imaging Contribute to Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Protection
Michał Marcinkiewicz
Sustainable agriculture is a simple and pragmatic idea that there does not have to be a trade-off between agricultural productivity and environmental protection. The conventional approach, however, has been to view agricultural yields and environmental protection as some sort of a zero-sum game in which the latter was constantly out-prioritised by the former. As a result, we have only managed to exacerbate the already adverse environmental impact of agriculture in terms of groundwater depletion, water pollution from fertilizer runoffs, biodiversity loss, soil erosion, and high rates of greenhouse gas emissions.

I have recently stumbled upon an article reporting that Facebook is using Artificial Intelligence to fight “revenge porn” - a phenomenon of sharing intimate photos on social networks without people’s permission. This is one of the downsides of the development of new technologies and social networks. This great TED talk from one of the victims explains why it is a serious problem that needs strong measures.
