Anton the robotic tongue has saved you from electrode doom

by Joshua Fruhlinger, posted Jul 30th 2008 at 6:20AM

So we had a choice: either we let scientists at the University of Sheffield attach electrodes to our tongues, or they were going to go and build their own artificial mouth. Because we're not so into the whole electrode thing, they built "Anton," an animatronic tongue made of soft silicone to help them understand speech and subsequently improve speech-recognition software. This isn't the first of its kind, believe it or not -- there's much competition in the robotic mouth world. Because speech recognition systems aren't really benefiting from simply crowding them full of recorded speech, researchers want to better understand how the mouth produces sound and then create algorithms that can simply recognize speech patterns rather than try to match recordings to recordings. Sounds about right to us. Peep the creepy video after the break.

周蕙--該忘了你對不對

作詞:陳宏宇 作曲:謝布暐 編曲:謝景麒(G-Wave)

大雨過後的眼淚 掛在裝滿回憶的櫥窗
我卻不想望一望 那些心碎的形狀

#記憶是一個行囊 陪伴著我到世界流浪
 我讓悲傷都裝上翅膀 再見了 就不能倔強

*該忘了你對不對 怕自己無法面對
 無怨無悔 把一切留給紀念
 受過折磨的創傷 它會慢慢被歲月一片片填滿
 漸漸就習慣不再想 忘記曾經最痛的地方

 該忘了你對不對 我應該堅強面對
 學會遺忘 不能相愛的掙扎
 記憶會為我收藏 那些美麗時光
 為愛付出過的力量
 帶著我去尋找 幸福的希望
