This field got reactivated recently, some new models were released (in the order of release, but the last one seems the best at the moment):

1. ZIPA https://github.com/lingjzhu/zipa

2. POWSM https://huggingface.co/espnet/powsm

3. PhoneticXEUS https://github.com/changelinglab/PhoneticXeus

I would be curious to know how to help people to use these models, or what kind of tasks they could be applied to.

AFAIK all ways of running docker on MacOS rely on a amd64 virtual machine with Linux kernel in it.

WhisperX is not a model but a software package built around Whisper and some other models, including diarization and alignment ones. Something similar will be built around the Cohere Transcribe model, maybe even just an integration to WhisperX itself.

I also expected screenshots there, especially given the word "interface". Turns out, it's not about user interface (UI), it's about programming interface (kinda API). It allows calling window-related functions on Macintosh, X Window System, and Atari. So the resulting windows were looking like a native UI, I assume.

There is a dolphin language model project from Google and Georgia Tech: https://blog.google/technology/ai/dolphingemma/

As far as I understand, the MMS TTS models are trained from scratch (section 7.1 of [1]), they do not employ any SSL models. So the OmniASR SSL models are not useful here.

What might be interesting is the newly released OmniASR data, because the MMS data, which was used for the MMS TTS, was never released.

Also, the OmniASR can be used to transcribe some untranscribed speech to train a TTS on it.

How is/was the data written to disks? Something like rsync/netcat?

Probably a mix-up with the recently released Huawei model:

What is the motivation to move startup from Canada to Germany, if I may ask?

I would be interested to see this reproducibility study.

Could this (or something similar) be found in public access/some libraries?

Doesn't moving air help evaporation anyhow?

The infrastructure problem should also have a relatively cheap technical solution. I assume the major bottleneck is bureaucracy, which largely has no technical workarounds so far.
