An interesting paper from Microsoft:

Neural Codec Language Models are Zero-Shot Text to Speech Synthesizers
https://valle-demo.github.io/

ABS: Specifically, we train a neural codec language model (called VALL-E) using discrete codes derived from an off-the-shelf neural audio codec model, and regard TTS as a conditional language modeling task rather than continuous signal regression as in previous work.

Your Brain Is a Prediction Machine That Is Always Active
https://neurosciencenews.com/prediction-brain-21183/

This is in line with a recent theory on how our brain works: it is a prediction machine, which continuously compares sensory information that we pick up (such as images, sounds and language) with internal predictions.

@hko

Yes. It is one of which I would like to explore further and perhaps use them in implementing #neural_networks

The electrical version, however.

The other thing, are #ternary_computers

A bit late to the game but here’s my #introduction I am a cognitive neuroscientist with a computational twist. I like #RL, #replay, #fmri (sorry!), the #OFC (the rest of the brain isn’t bad either) and also #neural_networks 
Why? I want to understand how people turn experiences into their inner representation of the world that helps them decide, remember and navigate. Getting to work in this is amazing! I am a Prof at Uni Hamburg & Group Leader at MPI Berlin, but currently nappy changer in chief

There are many #electrical components which either haven't been invented, yet or that are in experimental phase. I've created two new categories on the English #wikipedia for them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Non-invented_electrical_components

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Experimental_electrical_components

Bonus: Some of them could have good use in hardware implementations of artificial neurons and then ANNs.

Are we witnessing the dawn of post-theory science?
