On my was to Kos for INTERSPEECH 2025 and VIHAR-24. Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

We had a wonderful day of in-person VIHAR-24 presentations in Kos on Friday. The second (online) half of VIHAR-24 takes place today (9th Sept.) at 5pm CET via Zoom us02web.zoom.us/j/88688133688?…

I used Google's NotebookLM to generate a podcast from my VIHAR-24 paper: "What Needs to be Known in Order to Perform a Meaningful Scientific Comparison Between Animal Communications and Human Spoken Language" - astounding! drive.google.com/file/d/1n5ap5v…
