Dear Auditory List ,

UK Acoustics Network 2022 Festive Webinar

Please join us for a special seasonal webinar. Christmas Jumpers are optional.

Thursday December 15^th, 12pm UK GMT.

Machine Learning Challenges to Improve Hearing Devices: The Clarity and Cadenza Projects

Presented by Trevor Cox and Becky Vos, University of Salford

Clarity and Cadenza are two EPSRC projects that are exploiting the latest in machine learning to create improved listening experiences for those with a hearing loss. Clarity is focussing on speech-in-noise whereas Cadenza is concerned with music. For both projects, the research methodology is to run a series of open competitions, within which researchers from around the world take part. Competitors are given speech or music to enhance. Competitors are challenged to improve and personalise the audio for listeners with hearing losses
