Subject: Reminder: researcher (M/W) in speech separation applied to robotics (Emergence project: ROUTE) From: Sylvain Argentieri <sylvain.argentieri@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 17:05:08 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail=_6C990A0A-3A99-48B8-A013-ADDC5E680848 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Apologies for cross-posting. Position description The hired researcher will be in charge of the extension of the existing = analysis system to speaker detection and to binaural capture. He/she = will realize a study on the impact of the noise made by the robot on the = performance of the system. He/she will participate to the elaboration of = a simplified realistic test, and to the evaluation of the results, as = well as to all activities related to the project (evaluations, meetings, = specifications, reports). Required Experiences and Skills - Excellent knowledge and experience with non negative signal = decomposition, especially from multi-channel audio. A PhD in this domain = will be highly appreciated. - Excellent knowledge and experience in audio signal processing = (spectral analysis, audio-feature extraction, parameter estimation) - High interest in robotics and human/robot interaction - Very proficient in Matlab, experience with Python (NumPY/SciPY), = skills in C/C++ programming. - Good knowledge of Linux, and/or Mac OS X. - High productivity, capacity for methodical and autonomous work, = creativity, good communication skills, rigor, and excellent programming = style. Introduction to IRCAM IRCAM is a non-profit organization that is associated to the Centre = Pompidou (Centre national d=E2=80=99art et de culture Georges Pompidou). = Its missions comprise research, production, and education related to = contemporary music and its relation to science and technology. Within = the R&D department specialized teams are conducting research and = development in the areas of acoustics, sound signal processing, = interaction, computer music and musicology. IRCAM is located in the = centre of Paris near the Centre Pompidou, at 1, Place Igor Stravinsky = 75004 Paris. Introduction to ISIR The Institute for Intelligent Systems and Robotics (ISIR) is a = multidisciplinary research laboratory that brings together researchers = and academics from different disciplines of Engineering Sciences and = Information and the Life Sciences. ISIR is a joint research laboratory = between the Universite=CC=81 Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) and the Centre = National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS). Introduction to ROUTE project ROUTE is a collaborative program directed by the Analysis/Synthesis team = at IRCAM and ISIR. The program is focused on the automatic analysis of = an acoustic scene, based on a non-negative decomposition of a multi = channel recording of the scene. This research problem is closely related = to several applications in sound processing (e.g. source separation, = CASA); and it is becoming as well an important problem for many = applications emerging from the fields of robotics and artificial = audition (e.g. guide robots, older adults monitoring, and the general = study of human/robot interaction). The principal aim of the project is to evaluate recent advances in = non-negative signal decomposition for detecting and localizing a speaker = in a binaural acoustic scene: this study shall allow a robot to identify = speech in a background noise, and localise the speaker's position. Salary According to professional experience.
