> 
> Job description: the Postdoctoral Researcher will do research in ERC-funded project EVERYSOUND (Computational Analysis of Everyday Soundscapes). The aim is to develop methods to robustly detect and classify sound events in realistic everyday soundscapes such as street, where multiple sources are often present simultaneously, and the development data and its labels are also noisy, for example crowdsourced or crawled from the web. The work can include use of techniques such as robust pattern classification, unsupervised learning, source separation, natural language processing, active learning and reinforcement learning.
