The Future is Hear: Advances in Computational Audition and Sound Manipulation

Abstract:
Computer Audition is the sonic analog to Computer Vision and encompasses much more than just speech to text. Northwestern University’s Interactive Audio Lab (IAL), headed by Prof. Bryan Pardo, is a world leader in Computer Audition. IAL develops new techniques and technologies for identifying sound sources (telling dog barks from human speech), labeling content (naming the song played live in a live concert), parsing audio scenes into their constituent parts (e.g. splitting the live concert recording into individual instrumental …
