Artificial intelligence researchers at Amazon AGI have recently unveiled a revolutionary text-to-speech model that is being heralded as the largest of its kind. This model, known as Big Adaptive Streamable TTS with Emergent abilities (BASE TTS), boasts an impressive 980 million parameters and was trained using a massive dataset of 100,000 hours of recorded speech.
In a recent study conducted by scientists from Tokyo Tech, two groundbreaking design techniques were introduced to significantly enhance the performance of fractional-N phase locked loops (PLLs). These methods were developed to combat fractional spurs, which are unwanted signals that commonly affect PLLs used in various radar systems and wireless transceivers. The implications of these
The European Union (EU) is implementing ground-breaking legislation called the Digital Services Act (DSA), which aims to address the issue of illegal and problematic content on digital platforms. The DSA applies to large platforms with more than 45 million active monthly users in the EU. Even the world’s largest tech companies face significant fines if
Materials science continues to face a significant challenge in the design and discovery of innovative materials that address pressing global priorities, such as achieving Net Zero. In an exciting breakthrough, researchers at the University of Liverpool have made remarkable progress in this field. Their latest paper, titled “Superionic lithium transport via multiple coordination environments defined
5G networks offer a wide range of features, one of which is network slicing. Network slicing allows for the logical division of the network into segments based on current requests, ensuring a guaranteed level of signal quality. This segmentation offers providers the ability to allocate independent network resources on the same infrastructure, catering to the
With the rapid advancement of technology, it is common for individuals to upgrade their smartphones frequently, leaving behind their old devices.
