Build your own Sirius : An open-source digital assistant ~ DepoTech

Sirius is an open end-to-end standalone speech and vision based intelligent personal assistant (IPA) service similar to Apple’s Siri, Google’s Google Now, Microsoft’s Cortana, and Amazon’s Echo.

Sirius implements the core functionalities of an IPA including speech recognition, image matching, natural language processing and a question-and-answer system. Sirius is developed by Clarity Lab at the University of Michigan.

Sirius is published at the International Conference on Architectural Support for Programming Languages and Operating Systems (ASPLOS) 2015.

The researchers expect their new insights will interest industry, which is also trying to answer these questions.

"Some people ask whether speech or visual-driven computer interaction is just hype or the next big thing, and I truly believe it's the natural trend," said Lingjia Tang, U-M assistant professor of computer science and engineering, and co-director of Clarity Lab. "I think in the future we will communicate with computers more like how we communicate with humans."
