We’re pleased to announce our first workshop that will review Cadenza’s first ever machine learning challenge targeted to improve music for those with a hearing impairment. It will include talks on what the challenge was, how entrants approached
the problem, what our listening panel thought of the processed music, and guest lectures. You will also get a chance to input on our future challenges. Hearing loss causes problems when listening to music. It can make picking out lyrics more difficult, with music becoming duller as high frequencies disappear. This reduces the enjoyment of music and can lead to disengagement from listening
and music-making, reducing the health and well-being effects people otherwise get from music. The Cadenza workshops are designed to stimulate the development of systems to improve music processing for people with a hearing loss. The aim of this virtual workshop is to report on the
First Cadenza Challenge. The challenge ran from March to August 2023, presenting two tracks: listening to music using headphones and, listening to music in a car. More info and to register (its free!):
