*Title*:           Towards Speech Foundation Models


*Abstract:*   The success of large language models (LLMs) has been
foundational for advancements in natural language processing and artificial
intelligence, leading to widespread usage and deployment across various
business applications. Yet, the potential of multimodal models, such as
speech models, remains less explored. We argue that speech models are at a
stage comparable to text models in the era of GPT-1 in 2017, and we predict
that speech foundation models will soon become dominant in the field. This
presentation emphasizes the critical challenges and the recent technical
advancements that are instrumental in the development of speech foundation
models.

*Research at TTIC Seminar Series*



TTIC is hosting a weekly seminar series presenting the research currently
underway at the Institute. Every week a different TTIC faculty member will
present their research.  The lectures are intended for students
seeking research topics and advisors and for the general TTIC and
University of Chicago communities interested in hearing what their
colleagues are up to.
