Deep learning can tell if you are above the drinking limit
A new algorithm that can measure your alcohol consumption from your speech
Artificial intelligence has exploded in medicine in recent years, with most studies focusing on cancer, but there are other potential applications as well.
A group of researchers at La Trobe University (Melbourne, Australia) has developed an algorithm that can recognize if a person is over the legal drinking limit by listening to 12-second audio. Why is this important-how does it work?
Alcohol consumption
Alcohol consumption has always played a social role (both in ancient Egypt and in Roman times). Alcohol consumption has been associated with traditional festivals and convivial times.
As long as consumed in moderate amounts, alcohol is not a problem. On the other hand, excess alcohol has adverse effects on health, crime, and traffic accidents and leads to addiction. Globally, excessive alcohol consumption causes 2.8 million premature deaths per year.
