Beyond simpl= y communicating information to the user through speech, music, and other co= ntext-specific sound, the audio and acoustics can serve to convey a sense o= f spatial awareness and presence. This is particularly important in the con= text of mixed reality, where virtual content is presented spatially to the = user to augment or enhance the real environment. Recent advances in machine listening and audio analysis proved successful a= t extracting information about the environment, e.g., by performing acousti= c scene analysis, estimating acoustic parameters for spatially positioning = virtual acoustic objects, or localizing sound sources and events. The avail= ability of this type of information has the potential to greatly improve th= e user experience in immersive multimedia applications. Examples include pr= oviding real-time feedback about the surroundings, automatically suppressin= g or enhancing specific sounds, and altering the spatial information of spa= tially rendered content for artistic purposes or to better blend it with th= e real environment. The scope of this special session is to explore this intersection between c= omputational audio intelligence and immersive audio research, and provide a= venue for hosting recent advances in these two audio research directions. = This will create the opportunity for scientific interaction that can signif= icantly bolster research in both computational audio intelligence and immer= sive audio from a joint perspective. The special session targets researchers and professionals working in comput= ational audio intelligence and immersive audio processing, and in particula= r focusing on applications which synergically exploit techniques related to= these research fields. The topics of the special session include (but are not limited to): * Machine listening for analysis of acoustic scenes * Localization, tracking, and separation of sources and sound events * Generative and data-based enhancement and synthesis of immersive audio * Spatial audio analysis, modification, and synthesis * Context-aware immersive audio processing and applications * Deep learning for analysis of real-life audio recordings * Audio augmented and mixed reality * Machine learning for acoustic simulation and personalization On behalf of the organising committee, Archontis Politis --_000_101646843ed14c91b17783c5e6bd7866aaltofi_ Content-Type: text/html;
