Workshop A1: A Technical Primer on AI and Intelligent Language Models
- Robert Swier (Kindai University)
18:00 - 18:55
Room: Dome North 403 Artificial intelligence and machine learning have been around for a long time, so what is behind the enormous amount of attention and capital now being directed towards large language models like OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Google Gemini? This workshop will present some of the historical and technical background on these remarkable systems, including why neural networks were essentially ignored for decades by most AI researchers, how they finally started producing good results, and what discoveries have led to the most recent improvements. We will then discuss some of the surprising attributes of these systems, including the fact that the models do not contain copies of their training data and that designers themselves have no way of knowing what the models have learned. Finally, we will discuss what may lie ahead, including why many researchers believe we may now be on the path to artificial general intelligence and eventually to superintelligent machines. Practical elements of the workshop will include an introduction to what models are available for use now, what they are capable of, and tips for prompting these models to produce desirable output. Participants are encouraged to bring a digital device.

Workshop A2: Voices of the Future: Enhancing Language Learning with Advanced Text to Speech Technology
- Gary Ross (Kanazawa University)
19:05 - 20:00
Room: Dome North 403 In the rapidly evolving domain of language education, Text to Speech (TTS) technology has become a transformative tool. Today's TTS systems offer near-native naturalness in voice quality, thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence. These improvements have not only enhanced the clarity and fluency of generated speech but also its authenticity, making TTS an invaluable asset in language learning contexts. Furthermore, the integration of new Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) tags has expanded the functionality of TTS technologies. These tags allow for the manipulation of speech nuances, enabling the creation of diverse linguistic characters and incorporating multiple languages that were previously inaccessible. This presentation will demonstrate how teachers can leverage these tools effectively, with practical demonstrations of TTS in both English and Japanese. It will also explore the author's integration of TTS into other learning tools, such as Extensive Reading and Japanese reading fluency. Attendees will gain insights into creating more engaging and effective language learning experiences this powerful tool.
