20 billion parameters and the UI for voice is still cringe level terrible.
Or is it just me and I’ve turned into a get-off-my-lawn curmudgeon when it comes to audio interfaces?
> Find a reservation far from my work location in eight
hours for 8 people at Union Auto Company.
Said absolutely no one ever, right? I guess if this is what it’s trained on it’s no wonder.
- creeble 4y agoI can't parse that sentence.
- NegativeLatency 4y agoYeah many options: - (Find a reservation) (far from my work location in eight hours) (for 8 people at Union Auto Company). - (Find a reservation far from my work location) (in eight hours) (for 8 people at Union Auto Company). - (Find a reservation far from my work location in eight hours for 8 people) (at Union Auto Company). lots more options but it is confusing if you start to dig in
- nl 4y agoHow interesting! (BTW I don't see where this sentence is coming from, and I looked in the papers too) Here's how Spacy sees it: [1] So in that case it thinks the command is "in 8 hours find a reservation that is far from my work location and is for 8 people at Union Auto Company". This parse is almost certainly incorrect.

- nl 4y agoYeah but where did they get that sentence?
- zaroth 4y agoIt's in the figure - in the yellow bubble under "Few input examples in English". Interestingly on iPhone I could copy/paste the text, but on desktop Chrome I can't, and Ctrl-F doesn't work on it. Vector text in a .webp file?
- nl 4y agoThanks! It's not vector text (webp doesn't do that). You are seeing the magic text recognition that iOS can do on images.
- zaroth 4y agoWow, that is a very pleasing and seamless UX to just treat it like actual embedded text. Not often am I actually pleasantly surprised by something new in UI. Apple Pay on the Web might have been my last ‘Woah’ moment actually.
- nl 4y agoYeah it's pretty nice isn't it. I was confused because I'd done Cmd-F search on every page - maybe Firefox (which I use) needs to incorporate a similar feature. Hmm.
- jonathankoren 4y agoThis is the type of thing you learn to say when you're dealing with a slot filling algorithm that allows for overspecification. By putting it in one utterance, you avoid it saying coming back and saying "Where do you want a reservation?" "When do you want your reservations?" "How many people are in your party?"
- buscoquadnary 4y agoThat's actually an interesting thought I've been having, will audio interfaces eventually train humans to speak in a certain way?
- saalweachter 4y agoA boss of mine was adamant that it took humans a year or so to learn to reliably communicate in a new workgroup, for one person to say a thing and have everyone else understand what was meant.
- lazide 4y agoOh we try - it still doesn’t work.
