Query:
My name is Erik Martin and I am a freelance writer for Speech
Technology Magazine (www.speechtechmag.com). I'm looking to
interview artificial intelligence experts, speech technology
professionals, researchers, data scientists, voice-based
information companies, regulatory experts, and other related
professionals for the following story topic:
Reviewing the state of artificial intelligence impacting speech
technology in 2020. This article will summarize and comment on
the important developments in AI (artificial intelligence)
affecting speech technology that occurred in 2020 and look ahead
to what can be expected in this arena next year and beyond.
Below is a list of questions I'm seeking answers to for this
story. I can only conduct email interviews, whereby you or your
suggested sources types up written responses to my questions
below that I can use as quotes in my story (that's also often
easier and ensures no accidental misquoting). My deadline for
written responses is noon central, Friday, December 18, 2020.
QUESTIONS 1. Overall, how would you summarize and describe the
state of artificial intelligence impacting speech technology to
date? 2. What were some of the key highlights in 2020 when it
comes to the state of AI in speech technology? Please nominate a
few of the most important developments/announcements/innovations
in this arena (related to machine learning, speech-based systems
run by AI, etc.) 3. What is the state of AI adoption, and why
has adoption been challenging up to this point? 4. What is the
speech and voice recognition market expected to be worth in the
years ahead - any stats/links you can provide? 5. Do you have
any relevant recent statistics you can provide links to and cite
that underscore the importance of any of these developments or
growth in any areas? 6. What challenges and shortcomings need to
be addressed in 2021 and beyond when it comes to AI and speech
technology? What other challenges are related to AI and speech
technology (e.g., businesses haven't yet figured out how to use
AI in a targeted way to solve business problems, etc.)? 7.
Looking ahead, what do you predict when it comes to AI and
speech technology and 2021 and beyond? What progress/innovations
might we see in the coming months/years and why? 8. What your
prediction: Will we begin to see better integration with other
technologies, like facial recognition and voice recognition? 9.
To what extent will AI both enable and destroy deepfakes in the
months and years ahead - what your hunch here? 10. What can we
expect regarding AI regulation (internationally, federally,
etc.) in the months and years ahead? 11. How and to what extent
will AI increasingly be applied to automatic speech recognition
looking ahead? 12. Any other tips, thoughts, comments, or ideas
on this topic you'd like to add? 13. What is your full name,
title, company, and city/state headquarters?

Query:
My name is Erik Martin and I am a freelance writer for Speech
Technology Magazine (www.speechtechmag.com). I'm looking to
interview speech technology experts, speech engine
professionals, researchers, data scientists, voice-based
information companies, artificial intelligence experts,
regulatory experts, and other related professionals for the
following story topic:
Reviewing the state of speech engines in 2020. This article will
summarize and comment on the important developments in speech
engine technology that occurred in 2020 and look ahead to what
can be expected in this arena next year and beyond.
Below is a list of questions I'm seeking answers to for this
story. I can only conduct email interviews, whereby you or your
suggested sources types up written responses to my questions
below that I can use as quotes in my story (that's also often
easier and ensures no accidental misquoting). My deadline for
written responses is Monday, December 21, 2020.
QUESTIONS 1. Overall, how would you summarize and describe the
state of speech engines to date? 2. What were some of the key
highlights in 2020 when it comes to the state of speech engines?
Please nominate a few of the most important
developments/announcements/innovations in this arena (related to
speech-to-text, text-to-speech, speech recognition, voice
command and control, voice search, transcription, translation,
etc.). 3. Do you have any relevant recent statistics you can
provide links to and cite that underscore the importance of any
of these developments or growth in any areas? 4. Was any
significant progress made in terms of new languages and
dialects/multilingual mode added in 2020? Please provide
details. 5. What significant developments/announcements were
related to artificial intelligence and deep neural networks in
2020 that you'd like to point out? 6. Were there also any
important developments in the areas of voice biometrics, natural
language understanding, deep neural networks, etc.? 7. What
challenges and shortcomings need to be addressed in 2021 and
beyond when it comes to speech engines and their limitations
(e.g., systems often don't deliver the level of understanding
needed, better comprehension of sentence context is needed,
consumers often don't speak as clearly as business executives,
etc.)? 8. Looking ahead, what do you forecast when it comes to
speech engines and speech technology in 2021 and beyond? What
progress/innovations might we see in the coming months/years and
why? 9. Can you also suggest one or more other experts I should
try to interview for this story (if so, please provide contact
information)? 10. Any other tips, thoughts, comments, or ideas
on this topic you'd like to add? 11. What is your full name,
title, company, and city/state headquarters?

Query:
Hi, I'm writing an article on best side-gigs for nurses... I'd
love to include COVID-safe side gigs that nurses can work
remotely or with minimal face-to-face interaction, but this is
not a requirement. I already have "writing" and "teaching" as
side-gigs, and need 2-3 more ideas, so if you have great nurse
side-gig ideas to submit other than those, that would be
wonderful.
I'm looking for part-time side-gigs that nurses could
potentially do in addition to their full-time clinical nursing
role. It could also be something that could turn into a
full-time career, should someone want to get out of clinical
nursing, but that's not a must either.
Please reply with answers for the following: What is the
side-gig? Why is it a great side-gig for nurses? How can nurses
start this side-gig or apply for jobs with this side gig? Are
any additional credentials/degrees/qualifications required for
this side gig and if so what are they? What is the pay range for
this side gig? (hourly or per shift etc) Pls include anything
else that's important for readers (nurses) to know about this
side-gig.
Requirements:
Would love sources who are nurses, or healthcare
administrators/hiring managers/recruiters who employ / recruit
nurses.

Query:
Relationship Experts: How has the pandemic changed the
expectations people have for ambiguous romantic connections like
the "situationship"? Do you anticipate that situationships or
casual dating will become more popular? Are people who have
broken up during the quarantines more likely to date and people
who have been single during the pandemic more likely to put
themselves out there? Do you think that we'll see a shift in the
"situationship" relationship style?
Requirements:
Please reply if you are a sex therapist, relationship
specialist, psychologist, or certified love, sex, or
relationship coach with several years of experience.

Query:
In our new WFH reality, does the performative nature of constant
video calls and meetings open up women/female identified folks
to extra criticism?
Do you feel you are trying to meet expectations that are
different from those of your work peers?
Do you feel pressured to turn on video for work calls, and if
so, do you feel pressured to do hair/makeup/clean up the
workspace?
This is for a national outlet, but you can remain anonymous.
Requirements:
I'd like to speak with female identifying people (on record or
on background/anon, your choice) who feel like WFH video
requirements are challenging.
