Subject: PhD Studentship, University of Surrey, UK From: Mark Every <m.every@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 10:29:24 +0100Dear List, Applications are invited for the following PhD studentship at CVSSP, University of Surrey, UK. The aim of the PhD studentship is to assist in developing an intelligent listening system. That is, a machine which extracts salient sounds from a complex or natural sound environment, and that concurrently learns to categorise and differentiate between sources. The candidate will concentrate on detecting and extracting salient events from mono/stereo recordings, using grouping cues found relevant to human audition. A sizeable component of the project will be developing and adapting existing DSP algorithms in MATLAB for time-frequency analysis, partial and transient extraction, and adaptive filtering. The project has a host of potential applications in audio surveying/monitoring, content summarization, alarm/fault detection and elsewhere.
