Gerald Schuller: Perceptual and higher-level loss and distance functions for machine learning in audio and acoustics
Date:
Thu, 10/31/2024 - 3:30pm - 5:00pm
Location:
CCRMA Classroom / Zoom
Event Type:
Hearing Seminar 
Prof. Gerald Schuller will report on the potential transformative role of perceptual loss functions and distance metrics in enhancing audio and acoustic machine learning models, and their applications. He will cover theoretical foundations of perceptual loss functions, which mimic human auditory perception, and also more abstract, higher-level representations, and explore how these functions, along with novel distance metrics, significantly improve the performance of audio processing tasks. Applications involving loss functions for room impulse responses, audio similarity, and audio representations for cochlear implants will be discussed.
Prof. Marina Bosi will be hosting his visit.

Measuring Acoustic Transfer Functions - Swapan Gandhi and Juan Sierra (Meyer Sound)
Date:
Fri, 10/18/2024 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Location:
CCRMA Seminar Room
Event Type:
Hearing Seminar 
We often want to characterize an audio system but we might not have access to the underlying input signal, This occurs in common devices that have their own clocks and unknown latency. Our friends at Meyer Sound have this problem and are proposing a solution based on a "virtual referece." Grounded in their experience measuring and tuning room acoustics, they will share with us details of their method and a live demonstration of its use to characterize some popular consumer audio devices.
