Landmark study helps AI better understand accents and dialects

London, Feb 24 (PTI) AI could soon better understand people’s accent and dialect, thanks to a landmark study being led by the University of Sheffield.

The study, led by Dr Chris Montgomery from the University’s School of English in collaboration with ICS.AI, the UK’s fastest-growing, profitable AI business, is set to tackle one of the biggest challenges in public sector AI – how well digital services understand people who speak with different regional accents and dialects.
