We ran an #icassp challenge last year and had a great session in Rhodes. Worth entering IMHO

Very pleased to have the opportunity to chair the next #VCCA with my colleagues Trevor Cox and Jon Barker and also with @jw_wasmann and colleagues from claritychallenges and Cadenza Challenge #VCCA2024. Please fill in the survey linked to in the update to help us determine the date!

Our sister project Cadenza Challenge is running an IEEE ICASSP challenge. It is now on the conference website cmsworkshops.com/ICASSP2024/gra…… They're looking for entrants to systems to change the balance of stereo music tracks.

In 2024 the Virtual Conference in Computational Audiology #VCCA2024 will be chaired by Simone Graetzer and Trevor Cox from Clarity and Jan-Willem Wasmann @CompAudiology. Please fill in a short survey to help us plan the conference. Click below! forms.gle/hnETQeWckzubcc…

Grateful to Chris Pike Chris Pike Sonos and his team for the invitation to speak today about the Clarity challenges claritychallenges. Currently planning round three! #speechenhancement #hearingaids #machinelearning #acoustics

Honoured to be chairing the next @CompAudiology #VCCA2024 conference with Trevor Cox, @jw_wasmann and Jon Barker Sheffield Comp Sci. Save the dates: 20th and 21st June 2024! Keynote speakers include Manohar Bance Cambridge Hearing Group and Lars Bramslow Eriksholm RC.

Pre-announcement of our next challenge #CEC3 claritychallenge.org 2 tracks: (i) Real hearing aid signals and (ii) Real dynamic background noises. Launch is 2nd April. Join us improving hearing aids for those with a hearing loss. Photo data recording sess Salford Acoustics

Salford and Goldsmith have got fully funded PhD positions on Hearing Difference. Closing date 21/4/24. Great list of projects spanning art, science, and humanities @Aural_Diversity salford.ac.uk/school-of-scie…

To support our third Clarity Enhancement Challenge for Hearing Aid Signal Processing we’re running a webinar on the 10th May 2024. It will be run twice to help people to join from different time zones. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

An important study. If you're an audio machine learner and want to make a difference for those with a hearing loss, we need better speech enhancement on hearing aids. We've got an open signal processing challenge looking at just that claritychallenge.org

Today our sister project Cadenza Challenge has launched its second machine learning challenge for music processing (i) lyric intelligibility (ii) classical music rebalancing. cadenzachallenge.org

Deepen your expertise in speech processing at the 2024 CHiME Workshop! Join us at #INTERSPEECH2024 for a day of learning and collaboration with top experts. 📅 Sep 6, 2024, 🕗 8:00 – 17:00. Register now! bit.ly/4cUK5fb 🌐 #AI #SpeechTech #MachineLearning

In response to requests, we are pleased to extend the submission deadline for the 3rd Clarity Enhancement Challenge: 9th Sept: Submission deadline for obj. evaluation 16th Sept: Evaluation data for listening tests released 23rd Sept: Submission deadline for listening tests

If you looked at out recent CEC3 enhancement challenge, you might well have algorithms that could be applied to the lyric intelligibility task. Worth a look.

Our ambassador, Samantha Baines👑, relies on her hearing aid and lip reading to understand a conversation. Here are some simple tips that you can follow to make lip reading easier this #LipReadingAwarenessWeek and onwards: bit.ly/3PzzNIx

Are you interested in improving music listening for people with hearing loss? In the Cadenza project, we are running challenges to do this for hearing aid wearers. We are hosting a short webinar on Friday 13th September at 11am UK time. Please join us. cadenzachallenge.org/docs/cadenza2/…

Brilliant session on hearing aid research at #WCA2024 in Paris with Stefan Launer Sonova (pictured), Torsten Dau from the DTU and Sébastien Santurette of DTU and Oticon Hearing Foundation.

Thank you to the Cambridge Hearing Group for a brilliant #ASM2024 and the opportunity to share information about our Clarity claritychallenges and Cadenza Cadenza Challenge projects on signal processing of speech and music for hearing aids Salford Acoustics UK Acoustics Network Plus

Please fill in our survey about what we should do next by Monday 2nd December. Thank you!
