Full details below, or at=20 https://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=3D98854 . Best, Emmanouil Benetos *Funded PhD studentship in Machine Listening at the School of Electronic=20 Engineering and Computer Science, Queen Mary University of London* Applications are invited from all nationalities for a funded PhD=20 Studentship starting Autumn 2018 in machine listening / computer=20 audition, to conduct research in the area of computational sound scene=20 analysis. RESEARCH PROJECT: This research will investigate and prototype tools for=20 sound event detection and audio context recognition from everyday sound=20 scenes. This PhD position is linked with the EPSRC-funded project=20 "Integrating sound and context recognition for acoustic scene analysis"=20 on developing technologies for context-aware sound recognition. The=20 successful candidate will investigate, propose and develop machine=20 learning and digital signal processing methods for sound recognition,=20 suitable for complex and time-varying acoustic environments. SKILLS: Candidates must have a first-class honours degree or equivalent,=20 and/or a good MSc Degree in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering,=20 Audio/Music Technology, Acoustics, or a related discipline. Candidates=20 should have good programming experience in Python, Matlab, C/C++ or=20 similar. Knowledge of machine learning and/or digital signal processing=20 is desirable. Experience in research and a track record of publications=20 is advantageous. There is scope to tailor the research to the interests=20 and skills of the successful candidate. SUPERVISION: This project is based in the Centre for Digital Music=20 (C4DM) and Centre for Intelligent Sensing (CIS) of Queen Mary University=20 of London. C4DM is a world-leading multidisciplinary research group in=20 the field of Digital Music & Audio Technology; CIS has highly reputed=20 research expertise in multi-sensor data processing, distributed signal=20 processing, vision and audio analysis. Both groups are part of the=20 School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). Details=20 about the School can be found at http://www.eecs.qmul.ac.uk; details=20 about C4DM at http://c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk; and details about CIS at=20 http://cis.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/ . FUNDING: The studentship is for 3 years, and covers student fees as well=20 as a tax-free stipend of 16,777 GBP per annum.
