Automatic speech generation and intelligent and robust bias detection in automatic speech recognition model
This disclosure relates generally to ASR and is particularly directed to automatic, efficient, and intelligent detection of transcription bias in ASR models. Contrary to a tradition approach to the testing of ASR bias, the example implementations disclosed herein do not require actual test speeches and corresponding ground-truth texts. Instead, test speeches may be machine-generated from a pre-constructed reference textual passage according short speech samples of speakers using a neural voice cloning technology. The reference passage may be constructed according to a particular target domain of the ASR model being tested. Bias of the ASR model in various aspects may be identified by analyzing transcribed text from the machine-generated speeches and the reference textual passage. The underlying principles for bias detection may be applied to evaluation of general transcription effectiveness and accuracy of the ASR model. |

Communicating data with stacked memory dies
Methods, systems, and devices for communicating data with stacked memory dies are described. A first semiconductor die may communicate with an external computing device using a binary-symbol signal including two signal levels representing one bit of data.

Shunt-series and series-shunt inductively peaked clock buffer, and asymmetric multiplexer and de-multiplexer
A clock buffer that uses low-to-medium quality factor (e.g., QF of 2 to 5) inductors in shunt-series and in series-shunt configuration in high-speed clock distribution stages.

An asymmetric multiplexer with inductors in shunt or in shunt-series configurations. Another asymmetric multiplexer with capacitively coupled tri-stateable inverter-based buffer stages. These two multiplexer techniques along with the ability to ‘hide’ a load of a non-preferred path at a virtual ground node of the shunt inductor, the multiplexer improves the jitter and power consumption of the preferred path significantly. A de-multiplexer (DeMux) is also shown using inductors. A combination of a shunt-multiplexer and an inductor-based DeMux is also discussed. |

Data processing method and apparatus in storage system, and storage system
A data processing method in a storage system and the storage system, and relates to the field of data storage technologies. A client first sends a data block in a stripe and metadata of the data block to a data storage node. The client then sends the metadata of the data block and a parity block to a parity storage node, to back up the metadata of the data block on the parity storage node. When the metadata of the data block is successfully backed up, the data block is written into a corresponding storage device based on a storage location indicated by the metadata.
