Deep neural networks are good at doing many things, such as classification, predictions, and regression. But perhaps their most impressive accomplishment is to learn an *implicit* representation of a signal. Instead of just predicting a value, a DNN can learn the underlying function f(x) that generates the data. Given a position request (x) it returns the “true” value of the function, even for places it has not seen.

This week at the CCRMA Hearing Seminar Senyuan Fan and Prof. Marina Bosi claim that these implicit methods require less training data and achieve higher compression rates than other approaches. How do they do that?

Lloyd May on Audio Processing Strategies to Enhance Cochlear Implant Users' Music Enjoyment

malcolm — Thu, 15 Feb 2024 16:03:38 +0000

Location:

CCRMA Seminar Room

Event Type:

Hearing Seminar

Cochlear implants are an amazing solution to a hard problem. How do you electrically stimulate the auditory system to convey sound to people who are otherwise deaf? This is an example of a brain-computer interface and millions have been fitted to people who have difficulty hearing. They work well enough to allow people to understand speech. It's really quite remarkable. But what about music? What might we do to encode music so that people with cochlear implants can enjoy it? Why is music different than speech, and what parts of the musical signal might be conveyed?

Who: Lloyd May (CCRMA)
What: Designing Audio Processing Strategies to Enhance Cochlear Implant Users' Music Enjoyment
When: Fri, 05/10/2024 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Where: CCRMA Seminar Room, Top Floor of The Knoll at Stanford
Why: How do we stimulate our brains with electricity.
