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
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 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 creating a realistic, animated talking portrait of someone using just a few seconds of video instead of several minutes. That’s the promise of a new approach developed by researchers at the University of Hong Kong. Their work challenges the c
Imagine being able to detect someone’s emotions just by listening to their voice. This isn’t a scene from a sci-fi movie, but a reality that’s getting closer every day, thanks to advancements in speech emotion recognition (SER). A recent study by Ziq
In the rapidly evolving field of spoken question answering (SQA), researchers have made significant strides, yet challenges remain, particularly in processing long audio segments. Traditional methods and even large audio language models often fall sh
In the ever-evolving landscape of audio technology, the quest for efficient, real-time audio compression has taken a significant leap forward with the introduction of OBHS, or Optimized Block Huffman Scheme. This innovative algorithm, developed by re
In the realm of mental health, depression detection has traditionally been a challenging endeavor, often relying on self-reported symptoms and clinical interviews. However, a groundbreaking study led by Sejuti Rahman and colleagues has introduced a n
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, researchers are continually pushing the boundaries of what large language models (LLMs) can achieve. A recent study, led by Keda Tao and colleagues, introduces OmniZip, a groundbreaking fr
In the realm of audio technology, the ability to accurately localize sound sources is a critical challenge, particularly in the development of immersive audio experiences and advanced hearing aids. A recent study by Davoud Shariat Panah, Alessandro R
