Ok, my understanding was that (again, I’m not lawyer, this is not legal advice!), if there is a two-year home residency requirement on the J-1 holder’s visa, then both J-1 and J-2 holders cannot switch to another visa before you have either

Why is that?

I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice. Is there any two-year home residency requirement on the J-1 holder's visa (check DS-2019)? That may affect your ability to switch to H-1B (or any other visa).

John von Neumann once said, "Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them." While probably not the originally intended meaning, you can take the quote as saying that, after reading a lot o

No, this is just the vocoder part (like Wavenet) that converts from some representation to audio. You could probably use a Tacotron2-like approach to predict input features (which appear to be 18 Bark-scale cepstral coefficients and two f0-

I never looked at the peer review process in that way ("stamp of approval"). For a journal article, as long as it's not a desk-rejection (because the study is not in scope of the journal or such), it's usually an iterati

The point isn't that, I think. It's that valuable reviews are easily downed out by YouTube-comment-quality reviews. Schemes like curation of reviews by up-/downvoting don't work for most papers, as they are of interest t

Somewhat off-topic, but what wholesale SIP provider would you recommend? Looking for something small-scale for now, pay as you go as opposed to $X,000/month.

True, it's not nearly as dirty as real-world phone calls. Even when cross talk is not an issue, e.g. in voice mails, results on eval2000 are not representative of the performance.

How about the HUB5 eval2000 set or RT-03 for conversational telephone speech?

Related but somewhat off-topic question: Is there an easy to use parallel processing framework for python that also works well on Windows (anaconda)? I keep having issues with lost processes and other more or less random crashes, no matter

In my experience (especially with Elsevier), their copy editors are doing more harm than good. I dread having to go through proofs, as they always manage to sneak in mistakes, from spelling errors to changes in equations or figures. My advi

The Kaldi toolkit is state of the art, but you have to know quite a bit about speech and natural language processing to create a comparable service that works well (or invest the time to learn it). Definitely not plug and play, though. Then

Sadly, Mozilla's effort is somewhat flawed in its current iteration. There are only very few different sentences (tokens) used as prompts, leading to a lot of repetitions of the same spoken utterance instead of greater coverage of poss

It is unpaid. A lot of reviewing for conferences is actually being done by Ph.D. students. They have to do it, whether they are on a stipend or not. Equally, a lot of reviewing is being done by (in some cases, former) academics whose curren
