Subject: [AUDITORY] PhD position in Fundamentals of AI applied to Audio at QMUL From: Mark Sandler <mark.sandler@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2022 11:36:25 +0000--_000_DU0PR07MB8619E8C5ED4E9BB3EEEBD43BBBE29DU0PR07MB8619eurp_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable [Apologies for cross-posting] I=92m pleased to have been awarded a Queen Mary University of London Princi= pal=92s Scholarship to offer to a top quality, UK-qualified candidate to st= udy with me and a colleague in Mathematics (Primoz Skraba). We=92re looking for someone who is comfortable with mathematics and also kn= ows some combination of acoustics, audio and music. This project =96 under the banner of Artificial Neuroscience =96 will look = at an emergent approach to Deep Learning that applies Linear Algebra and to= pology to weight and activation matrices in Neural Networks. This will be s= tudied in the context of Neural Audio topics like Music Source Separation a= nd Enhancement, Audio Temporal-Structure Decomposition (chorus/verse, etc) = and Audio Synthesis. Here is a link to our web site which candidates can follow to make an appli= cation.
