Beyond = simply communicating=20 information to the user through speech, music, and other = context-specific sound, the audio and=20 acoustics can serve to convey a sense of spatial awareness and presence. = This is particularly=20 important in the context 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 at extracting information about the environment, e.g., by performing acoustic scene = analysis, estimating=20 acoustic parameters for spatially positioning virtual acoustic objects, = or localizing sound sources=20 and events. The availability of this type of information has the = potential to greatly improve the user=20 experience in immersive multimedia applications. Examples include = providing real-time feedback=20 about the surroundings, automatically suppressing or enhancing specific = sounds, and altering the=20 spatial information of spatially rendered content for artistic purposes = or to better blend it with the=20 real environment. The scope of this special session is to explore this intersection = between computational audio=20 intelligence and immersive audio research, and provide a venue for = hosting recent advances in=20 these two audio research directions. Given the successful special = session organized at last year=E2=80=99s=20 MMSP2019, this special session is a good opportunity for scientific = interaction that can significantly=20 bolster research in both computational audio intelligence and immersive = audio from a joint perspective.
