Artificial intelligence has long struggled with the intricate task of persuasive debate, especially in complex, evidence-based formats. Previous efforts, such as IBM’s Project Debater, have simplified the debate process to make it more accessible to
In the world of film post-production, AR/VR, and sound design, the ability to generate audio from video is becoming increasingly important. This process, known as video-to-audio generation (V2A), is particularly crucial for creating Foley sound effec
Researchers Runxin Zhang, Yulin Shao, and Yuanwei Liu have introduced a groundbreaking framework called the Directional Pinching-Antenna System (DiPASS), which aims to bring physical consistency to the modeling of Pinching-Antenna Systems (PASS). Thi
Emotion recognition is a game-changer in human-computer interaction, especially in movie recommendation systems where understanding emotional content can significantly enhance user experience. Traditionally, multimodal approaches that combine audio a
Creating immersive, dynamic soundscapes has always been a fascinating challenge in the world of computer music and algorithmic sound design. The latest research from Ellie L. Zhang, Duoduo Liao, and Callie C. Liao tackles this head-on, focusing on th
Imagine feeling the texture of a virtual object without any physical touch. This isn’t science fiction but a reality made possible by pseudo-haptics, a technique that uses visual and auditory cues to trick the brain into perceiving sensations that ar
Depression is a global mental health challenge, often underdiagnosed due to its reliance on subjective clinical assessments. A groundbreaking study introduces a novel approach to objective depression detection using a tri-modal dataset that integrate
Imagine a classroom where students don’t just learn about artificial intelligence in music but actively challenge and redefine its boundaries. This is the essence of the course “AI in Music and Sound: Modalities, Tools and Creative Applications,” par
Imagine a world where your self-driving car navigates bustling city streets with the same precision and safety as a seasoned driver. This vision hinges on one critical factor: the integrity of the datasets that train autonomous driving systems. A rec
Imagine a world where conversational AI (CAI) tools are so advanced that they can help people with visual impairments (PVI) explore new opportunities and places with unprecedented ease. This is not just a futuristic fantasy, but a potential reality t
