Digitaalsete mängude tootja Edvin Aedma jagab meiega enda kogemust sellest, kuidas üks Keith Devlini ettekanne inspireeris teda tegelema matemaatilisi oskusi arendavate arvutmängudega ning mõjutas Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituuti. Aastal 2011 külastas Tartu Ülikooli arvutiteaduse instituuti Keith Devlin ja pidas loengu matemaatika ja videomängude õpetamise vahelisest sünergiast. Mäletan, et instituudi direktor Jaak Vilo pööras oma sissejuhatavas […]

Mozilla projekt Common Voice tegeleb kõneandmete korjamisega ühisloome teel. Erinevalt tekstiandmetest on kõneandmed palju harvemad ja kõneandmestikud palju väiksemad/kallimad. Teisest küljest sõltuvad nende kättesaadavusest ja suurusest kõnesünteesi ja kõnetuvastuse kvaliteet, eriti kui kasutada kaasaegseid süvaõppel põhinevaid lähenemisi. See on eriti oluline muu hulgas eesti keelele, mille puhul on kõneandmeid väga vähe. Hiljuti lisasime eesti keele […]
