Upcoming Events
Purnima Kamath on Generative Models for Sound Design
Date:
Fri, 09/13/2024 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Location:
CCRMA Seminar Room
Event Type:
Hearing Seminar 
Sound design involves creatively using sounds to build cinematic experiences for films and games. While most AI models support novel sound generation, they need to be trained on large, semantically well-labeled datasets and often lack support for creative pursuits such as audio morphing.

Leslie Famularo on Differentiating and Optimizing an Auditory Model

Hearing Seminar 
One of the shortcomings of current AI work is the inability to tie the results back to known physics. This is useful both to help explain the results, but also to constrain the optimal solution to known physical properties of the system. Neural networks are hard. They are big, often times the result is inscruttable. What can be done?
New software paradigms such as JAX and PyTorch allow one to specify arbitrary computations in a way that can be differentiated. And if we can differentiate a function we can optimize it. Hurray. How can we express an auditory model in a differentiable fashion?
