Towards reconstructing intelligible speech from the human auditory cortex



Columbia neuroengineers have created a system that translates thought into intelligible, recognizable speech. By monitoring someone's brain activity, the technology can reconstruct the words a person hears with unprecedented clarity.

Beijing-based Megvii project focuses on the development of facial recognition technology. Its Face ++ data base boasts solutions developed by 300 thousand programmers. The application performs a widest range of tasks: from identity checks of taxi drivers working for aggregator services to catching criminals. By way of example, it took the application just 7 minutes to verify a journalist’s identity.

This is how the program works: a user's picture is uploaded into the system, it integrates facial biometric data simultaneously tracking 83 key points on the face. It enables identification of a person’s face with 99% accuracy. In addition to identity verification, the program determines the person’s age, race, gender, and emotions. The application provides access to private property: for example, it allows you to track people’s movements inside a building. This capability makes the technology extremely useful for shopping centers and banks to prevent robberies.

Face ++ has a mixed reputation: human rights activists consider it to be an instrument of public control. The situation around the application is aggravated by the fact that Face ++ is part of the smart video surveillance programme in PRC. The program is also used by the Chinese police helping them to identify criminals much more efficiently than through fingerprint analysis or the viewing of videos recorded by surveillance cameras.

The startup is currently working with several companies, such as Ant Financial Alibaba — Alipay units. Face++ can be used to pay for purchases in China by just smiling into the camera. The programme is already used by more than 120 million people in China.
