Talk Title
: Human-AI Alignment for Speech Brain-Computer Interfaces
Abstract
: We are witnessing a new wave of applications enabled by the Deep Learning revolution in all domains of AI, like audio, image and text. However, we have ways to go to unleash the potential of AI in healthcare, particularly in low-resource scenarios where there may not be a lot of data available from the target end users of technology. This is particularly true in Brain-Computer Interfacing of paralyzed individuals who may have lost ability to vocally communicate. In this talk, I will present a series of works where we have tried to align AI models toward human representations and mechanisms of speech production. We show that current leading approaches in AI (particularly Self-Supervised Learning) hold enormous potential in this endeavor. I will demonstrate our recent attempts in using this paradigm to externally enable spoken communication in paralyzed individuals.
