  • (1888PressRelease) May 16, 2021 - Geneva, Switzerland - Meanwhile the development of its foundational AI Framework standard is steadily progressing and the technical review of responses to the Context-based Audio Enhancement (MPAI-CAE) and Multimodal Conversation (MPAI-MMC) Calls for Technologies has been completed.

    The goal of the AI Framework (https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-aif/) standard, nicknamed MPAI-AIF, is to enable creation and autom¬ation of mixed Machine Learning (ML) - Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Data Processing (DP) – inference workflows, implemented as software, hardware, or mixed software and hardware. A major MPAI-AIF feature is enhanced explainability of MPAI standard applications.

    Development of two new standards has started after completing the technical review of responses to the Calls for Technologies. Context-based Audio Enhancement (MPAI-CAE https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-cae/) covers four instances: adding a desired emotion to a speech without emotion, preserving old audio tapes, improving the audioconference experience and removing unwanted sounds while keeping the relevant ones to a user walking in the street. and Multimodal Conversation (MPAI-MMC https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-mmc/) covers three instances: audio-visual conversation with a machine impersonated by a synthesised voice and an animated face, request for information about a displayed object, translation of a sentence using a synthetic voice that preserves the speech features of the human.

    Substantial proposals received in response to the MPAI-CUI Call for Technologies (https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-cui/#CfT) has allowed starting the work on a fourth standard, AI-based Company Performance Prediction, part of the Compression and Understanding of Industrial Data standard. The standard will enable prediction of performance, e.g., organisati¬onal adequacy or default probability, by extrac¬ting information from governance, financial and risk data of a given company.

    The MPAI web site provides information about other AI-based standards being developed: AI-Enhanced Video Coding (MPAI-EVC https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-evc/) will improve the performance of existing video codecs using AI, Server-based Predictive Multiplayer Gaming (MPAI-SPG https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-spg/) will compensates the loss of data and detect false data in online multiplayer gaming and Integrative Genomic/Sensor Analysis (MPAI-GSA https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-gsa/) will compres¬s and understand data from combined genomic and other experiments produced by related dev¬ices/sensors.

    MPAI develops data coding standards for applications that have AI as the core enabling technology. Any legal entity who supports the MPAI mission may join MPAI (https://mpai.community/how-to-join/join/) if it is able to contribute to the development of standards for the efficient use of data.
