Upcoming Events
Purnima Kamath on Generative Models for Sound Design

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.

Pulse Audition: Leveraging DNN-Based Speech Enhancement for Improved Communication in Assistive Listening Devices
![](https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/imagecache/thumbnail/user/rmichon/untitled_1.jpg)
This talk explores the evolution of Deep Neural Network (DNN) based approaches in speech enhancement and source separation. Beginning with a historical overview, it traces the progression from traditional methods to the current state-of-the-art techniques. Emphasizing the persistent challenge of speech intelligibility in noisy environments, the discussion transitions to the contemporary issue of inadequate performance in conventional hearing aids. The approach adopted by Pulse Audition of integrating DNN-based technologies into hearing assistance systems is then highlighted, presenting a promising avenue for significantly enhancing communication for individuals with hearing impairments.
