Each time you make a Voice Call on Telegram, a neural network learns from your and your device‘s feedback (naturally, it doesn’t have access to the contents of the conversation, it has only technical information such as network speed, ping times, packet loss percentage, etc.). The machine optimizes dozens of parameters based on this input, improving the quality of future calls on the given device and network."
Is it just me or does this sound like serious bullshit? Unless you have some hard evidence of course...
- RussianCow 10y agoWhich part? That it doesn't have access to the conversation, or that it improves the call quality?
- backpropaganda 10y agoThe 'neural network' is probably an SVM or logistic regression. There's nothing special that a neural network can learn with high-level features like network speed, ping times, etc. In fact, it's probably just a TCP-like algorithm, i.e. decrease rate of packet sending if not getting ACKs back. One day, Intel might come out and say their microprocessors are AI-powered, since it has branch prediction.
