How to Make Audio Podcasts Searchable by Nicolas Delahousse, Customer Engineer at ML6
Podcasts have risen in popularity over the years. Despite the surge in popularity, these developments in the field of search have not been translated to the realm of podcasts until today. However, new AI models can transcribe podcasts to text and make their contents searchable. In collaboration with Checkpod, a podcast discovery website, there will be a demonstration on how this technology can help users find new podcasts using NLP, ElasticSearch, and Haystack.

NLP for Under-Represented Languages by Sebastian Ruder, Research Scientist at Google
Natural language processing (NLP) technology has seen tremendous improvements in recent years but most of these successes have been concentrated in languages with large amounts of data. In this talk, there will be a discussioon over challenges and potential solutions on the way to scaling NLP to more of the world’s 7000 languages. In particular, recent progress in NLP for African languages and present methods that are applicable to languages with limited data such as employing alternative sources of data and multi-modal information will be highlighted.
