Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) have revolutionized how we handle signals like images, audio, and 3D scenes. These frameworks, including MLPs with Fourier features, SIREN, and multiresolution hash grids, have been incredibly powerful. However,
Imagine a world where your music recordings are so clean that even the subtlest nuances of your performance shine through, untouched by the noise that usually plagues our audio environments. This could soon be a reality, thanks to a groundbreaking de
Imagine a world where artificial intelligence doesn’t just mimic the brain but actually aligns with it, creating audio representations that are eerily similar to how our own brains process sound. This isn’t a distant dream but a reality, according to
Imagine receiving a phone call from someone you trust, only to realize it’s not them at all, but a convincing AI-generated imitation. This is the chilling reality of speech deepfakes, and it’s becoming an increasingly common threat in our digital wor
Imagine capturing sound with pinpoint accuracy, even when using a compact microphone array. This isn’t a futuristic dream but a reality, thanks to a groundbreaking approach called Neural Directional Filtering (NDF). Researchers Weilong Huang, Srikant
This week, Japanese high-end audio brand Final made waves by unveiling the TONALITE, billed as the world’s first true wireless earbuds to integrate personalized Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) technology. Using advanced 3D head and ear scanning, these earbuds promise to deliver a listening experience tailored to each user’s unique anatomy, addressing a long-standing challenge in spatial audio: the variability of human hearing. This breakthrough could finally bridge the gap between generic audio reproduction and the holy grail of truly immersive, individualized sound.
Imagine being able to pinpoint the exact objects involved in a collision just by listening to the sound. That’s the fascinating goal of a new research task called Collision Sound Source Segmentation (CS3). This innovative approach aims to segment the
Imagine being able to translate thoughts into speech just by wearing a simple, affordable EEG headset. This isn’t science fiction; it’s the cutting-edge research being conducted by Quentin Auster, Kateryna Shapovalenko, Chuang Ma, and Demaio Sun. The
Imagine a world where machines can seamlessly understand the intent behind every word spoken in a lengthy, multi-speaker conversation. This isn’t a distant dream, but a reality that’s inching closer, thanks to the innovative work of researchers like
In the rapidly evolving world of connected cyber-physical systems, the ability to perform real-time inference based on multiple data streams is becoming increasingly crucial. However, these systems often face the challenge of uncertain communication
