Today, we're joined by Scott Stephenson, co-founder and CEO of Deepgram to discuss voice AI agents. We explore the importance of perception, understanding, and interaction and how these key components work together in building intelligent AI voice agents. We discuss the role of multimodal LLMs as well as speech-to-text and text-to-speech models in building AI voice agents, and dig into the benefits and limitations of text-based approaches to voice interactions. We dig into what’s required to deliver real-time voice interactions and the promise of closed-loop, continuously improving, federated learning agents. Finally, Scott shares practical applications of AI voice agents at Deepgram and provides an overview of their newly released agent toolkit.

Solutions

Our conversations with hundreds of ML/AI practitioners and teams have demonstrated that effective tools and platforms are the key to delivering ML and AI at scale—allowing teams to innovate more quickly and consistently.

The TWIML Solutions guide helps you identify technologies and solutions that can help your organization deliver models into production more quickly and efficiently.

Latest Research

Long before starting the TWIML podcast, I worked at the intersection of the two technology shifts that ultimately enabled modern artificial intelligence: cloud computing and big data. AWS was the clear leader in cloud even back then, so I jumped at the opportunity to attend the company’s first re:Invent conference way back in 2012.

Pachyderm provides the ability to modularize, orchestrate, and scale the steps of your ML pipeline within a language-agnostic platform — with the added ability to trace the lineage and versioning of both code and data.

A recent tweet from Soft Linden illustrated the importance of strong responsible AI, governance and testing frameworks for organizations deploying public-facing machine learning applications.

Following a search for “had a seizure now what”, the tweet showed that Google’s “featured snippet” highlighted actions that a University of Utah healthcare site explicitly advised readers NOT to take.

We’re proud to announce the new TWIML Solutions Guide, a directory of machine learning tools and platform technologies for data scientists, ML engineers and other AI practitioners and leaders. The Guide aims to help them explore and compare open source and commercial offerings for building, delivering, and improving their ML and AI projects. This post explains why we think the guide is important and highlights some of its key features.

In order to help enterprise machine learning, data science, and AI innovators understand how model-driven enterprises are successfully scaling machine learning, we have conducted numerous interviews on the topic.

In this post, we present three representative ML platforms: Airbnb’s Bighead, Facebook’s FBLearner, and LinkedIn’s Pro-ML. Each of these platforms was developed in response to the unique situation, challenges, and considerations faced by its creator.

Build better models faster by using state-of-the-art hyperparameter optimization and supervised early stopping tools. Focus on adding business value to your data pipeline while Comet automates the rest.

Dataiku Data Science Studio is the collaborative data science software platform for teams of data scientists, data analysts, and engineers to explore, prototype, build, and deliver their own data products more efficiently.

Run:ai Atlas is a compute orchestration platform that speeds up data science initiatives by pooling all available GPU resources and then dynamically allocating resources as you need them. One-click execution of experiments, no code changes required by the user, and most importantly, no more waiting around to access GPUs. Atlas automates provisioning of multiple GPU or fractions of GPU across teams, users, clusters and nodes, and IT gains control and visibility over the full AI infrastructure stack through comprehensive, easy-to-use dashboards.

SigOpt is a model development platform that makes it easy to track runs, visualize training, and scale hyperparameter optimization for any type of model built with any library on any infrastructure

Introducing the first enterprise-ready feature store for machine learning. Built by the creators of Uber Michelangelo, Tecton provides the first enterprise-ready feature store that manages the complete lifecycle of features — from engineering new features to serving them online for real-time predictions.

Community

The TWIML Community is a global network of machine learning, deep learning and AI practitioners and enthusiasts.

We organize ongoing educational programs including study groups for several popular ML/AI courses such as Fast.ai Deep Learning, Machine learning and NLP, Stanford CS224N, Deeplearning.ai and more. We also host several special interest groups focused on topics like Swift for Tensorflow, and competing in Kaggle competitions.
