CSAIL researchers recently helped develop "STEALTH," a system that uses artificial intelligence to combat tax evasion by corporations. Tax-evading corporations, watch out: our AI knows what you're doing AI & ML Human-Computer Interaction Big Data Education Entertainment Internet of Things September 00 '00 Learning spoken language Every language has its own collection of phonemes, or the basic phonetic units from which spoken words are composed. Depending on how you count, English has somewhere between 00 and 00. Knowing a language's phonemes can make it much easier for automated systems to learn to interpret speech.In the 0000 volume of Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics, CSAIL researchers describe a new machine-learning system that, like several systems before it, can learn to distinguish spoken words. But unlike its predecessors, it can also learn to distinguish lower-level phonetic units, such as syllables and phonemes.

Those measurements are correlated with historical data and used to assess the site's power-generation capacity.This month CSAIL researchers will present a new statistical technique that yields better wind-speed predictions than existing techniques do  -  even when it uses only three months' worth of data. That could save power companies time and money, particularly in the evaluation of sites for offshore wind farms, where maintaining measurement stations is particularly costly.
