> amplified noise, distractors, multiple speakers, etc.  In addition to the
> products that can be found on its web page (www.wavemakers.com) WaveMakers
> has also developed speaker identification software, proximity detection,
> and speaker localization.  Because of its multi-disciplinary team with
> members from physics, psychology, and statistics, WaveMakers approaches
> speech enhancement in a way that is not necessarily along traditional
lines
> used in signal processing.  For example, heavy use is made of pattern
> matching, neural networks, fuzzy logic, and plain old-fashioned data
> exploration through visualization.  Current research topics include
> separating speech from overlapping music, transient noise, and other
> speakers, speech compression, and resynthesis.
> The research atmosphere at WaveMakers is collegial and team-oriented.  In
> addition, WaveMakers offers competitive salaries, benefits, and stock
options.
