I’m in Australia! Hooray! My mum and dad and sister and I moved from Perth to Bergen when I was a kid, and ever since I’ve loved two homes: Australia and Norway. Walking off the plane last night and breathing in the scent of eucalyptus in the warm night air […]
That’s almost the title of a paper I read today, Do Multilingual LLMs Think In English?, which uses several methods to poke into what a language model actually does when responding to a prompt in a language other than English. Spoiler: it looks as though it goes via English even […]
I gave a talk about AI today for a group of knowledge workers in the public sector – people who are asked to write reports summarising research on a specific topic, and who coordinate funding schemes and advise on policy – and I asked them how they use LLMs in […]
Occasionally I love ChatGPT. Like when I gave it a research paper I’d written and the itinerary for my planned trip to Australia this November and asked it to look for related art exhibitions I should visit or people to meet and it came up with some great suggestions with […]
Annette Markham and I gave the opening keynote for NORDMEDIA 2025 together and had a lot of fun! I’ll try to write more about our talk later, but I wanted to share this list of ideas from the audience right away. The tagline of the conference is “Imagining Livable Futures”, […]
This morning I received the copy-edited version of a paper I recently submitted to a journal. This is always cause for celebration, another step towards publication accomplished! But this time the copy-editor wasn’t human, it was an AI. We have undertaken a light text edit using the tool Paperpal Preflight; […]

Frauenhofer has been working on this: http://www.wired.com/news/print/0,1294,57317,00.html
Dunno if there’s anything available yet though

Purdue Engineers have come up with an image search engine . If we are lucky they’ll work on the audio one next. That will solve the problem of songs being stuck in our heads that we can’t remember fully.

Some people the apparently used to work for Yamaha worked on some music recognition stuff, but they changed their plans and started working on a copyright cop bot (or whatever).

This is wonderful! Thank you! I can’t wait till all these tools are actually out there!
As it was I found the song by searching through iTunes, where it turned out that I had cleverly given the song in question a five star rating while listening to it on my shiny new iPod. I did have quite a few duds before finding the right tune though.

You might try Shazam. I don’t know if you can sing a song to them, but it does work if you play a song you want to know the name of into a cell phone.

That is so cool! Here’s the consumer’s site for Shazam, too. It’s not even awesomely expensive – 59p a go. Only in the UK, though.
Why hasn’t it hit Norway yet, I wonder?

and if you know some of the lyric:
“need a little time to wake up” +lyrics

Over here in Canada, we rely on the Sad Goat to sort out the songs that whirl ’round our heads and whose title we can’t remember. The Sad Goat is a 1-800 hundred toll-free phone number for Richardson’s Roundup, a national radio show on the public broadcaster, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: http://www.cbc.ca/roundup/
