🎶📄Submissions are open for the 1st Latin American Music Information Retrieval Workshop (LAMIR) Submission deadline: September 6, 2024 Workshop dates: December 9-11, 2024 Workshop location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Website: lamir-workshop.github.io

I collaborated on a paper with some awesome ecologists that was just published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution. Check out @ellycknight's overview (and then check out the paper)!

Also, NSI caption density has decreased by a factor of 3 in videos by high-valued studios in the past 10 yrs, possibly indicating increasing overreliance on ASR even within 'manual' captioning pipelines resulting in captions focused primarily on speech. Learn more in the paper!

Our paper investigates the trends of NSI captioning in the past 10 years on YouTube. We find the presence of NSI captions is very low (~4% of videos) and when it is present, its density is also lower than expected.

#CHI2024 On Wednesday at 11:45am in 321, I'm presenting "Unspoken Sound: Identifying Trends in Non-Speech Audio Captioning on YouTube" a paper in collaboration with @MayTheLloyd, @bick_jp, Khang Dang, @latent_audio, Jhanvi Pai, @mfu3ntes, and Sooyeon Lee. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36….

#CHI2024 Excited that the SInC Lab has two papers at CHI this year. The first is today 2pm in 313a – Keita Ohshiro (@bick_jp) will be presenting his work "Audio Engineering by People Who Are deaf and Hard of Hearing: Balancing Confidence and Limitations" dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36…

We are recruiting survey participants to learn more about the accessibility of non-speech sound captions, in particular your experience in viewing non-speech captions in videos such as TV, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, etc. Go to nyu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8r… for the survey. Pls share!

I have an opening in my lab at NJIT for a PhD student starting in Fall 2024. In particular, I'm looking for a student interested in human-AI collaboration for music composition, production, or performance. Get in touch if interested!

#SANE2023 is in just over 1 month, Thu 10/26 at NYU in Brooklyn! Talk details are now up for @kchonyc, @YGongND, @huangcza, @wang_wenwu, and (New!) Gaël Richard. There's still time to register, but we're nearing capacity. Poster deadline: 9/30 Please RT🤗 saneworkshop.org/sane2023/

We are working closely with the venue to maximize the number of additional guests. Plan to reopen the registration to the public on 9/9-ish. Please note that the Mohonk hotel is completely sold out, so new registrants need to find their own lodging and transportation.

I am hiring PhD students at @LaboLS2N 🦀 and @Ircam 🪗 on 🦀 resource-efficient deep learning in the raw waveform 🪗 birdsong synthesis with DDSP 🦀 sustainable design of autonomous bioacoustic sensors 🪗 generative models for auditory well-being Please share! #audio #AI

WASPAA 2023 paper submission site is open! 👉cmt3.research.microsoft.com/WASPAA2023/Sub… Please submit your abstract by 4/21 and the final version by 4/28 AoE.

For those interested in environmental sound synthesis (e.g., for this year's #DCASE Foley challenge), check out a new paper led by Danzel Serrano (@dependanz). It presents a method for learning models for controllable sound synthesis, e.g. footsteps. arxiv.org/abs/2303.02396

WASPAA 2023 calls for papers! The traditional intimate Mohonk Mountain House with exciting changes: double-blind review, an unprecedented amount of travel grants, and more. More information: waspaa.com/call-for-paper… #waspaa2023

If you do music source separation or enhancement, consider participating in the 1st Cadenza challenge to improve the perceived audio quality of recorded music for people with a #hearingloss: cadenzachallenge.org/docs/cadenza1/…

Passionate about creativity+music+art, HCI, and ML? I’m still recruiting PhD and master students through @Mila_Quebec for Fall 2023. See czhuang.github.io for more details and apply by Dec 1st!

@mfu3ntes @nyusteinhardt @nyutandon @nyuMARL @IdmNyu Congrats, Magda!!

Exciting life update‼️ Today I started as Assistant Professor of Music Technology and Integrated Design & Media 📚💻 at @nyusteinhardt and @nyutandon, within the wonderful @nyuMARL and @IdmNyu. If you're interested to work with me, reach out! 📬 🗽

.@functiontelechy @markbcartwright @InstrumentsLab @colinraffel @kmkinnaird @jcdevaney @asterix77 @drscotthawley Hope you'll help share this broadly 😀 The videos have been through one course cycle, but there are definitely still some gaps and errors. I welcome any feedback!

Seeking postdoc who does quant or qual research in content moderation, online community management, hate speech online. Must be willing to work in a team and mentor students. Will help you get multiple pubs and smoothly transition into next phase of career. Plz Share!
