Look who’s talking again !
In the past weeks we have been testing Musio and seeing how Musio performs in conversations. We are very happy with how Musio is performing with trivial questions, general conversations and also correcting grammar.

It’s pretty impressive what AKA has achieved in the past couple of years working on MUSE and Musio. The team at AKA has gone a long way into research and development, experimenting heavily with cutting-edge machine learning algorithms, high performance computing techniques and human interface design. Musio still has a lot to learn more but his grammar and knowledge is getting better and better everyday. […]
Artificial Intelligence helping the blind
