Upcoming Events
Purnima Kamath on Generative Models for Sound Design
![](https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/imagecache/thumbnail/user/malcolm/purnima-kamath.jpg)
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
![](https://ccrma.stanford.edu/sites/default/files/imagecache/thumbnail/user/malcolm/leslie_famularo_headshot_09-11-23.jpg)
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?
