To close out 2018, we're revisiting our favorite #BCfamily highlights from the year! In October, CIS associate professor Michael I Mandel secured a five-year, $500,000 U.S. National Science Foundation grant to analyze audio recordings from the Alaskan wilderness. Congratulations, Michael! brooklyn.cuny.edu/web/news/bcnew…

Please consider submitting to the #DCASE2019 workshop that we're organizing at NYU. The workshop immediately follows both #WASPAA and #SANE2019, all in NY. Come to all 3!

Excited for Johanna Devaney's keynote at #MEC2019

On 9/27, I'll be taking the stage at Betaworks for RENDER: Hearing Voices, a day-long conference exploring the future of audio. Join me for the conversation, IRL or by livestream 👇 🎟 beta.works/hearingvoices

While @ismir2020 has come to a close, the sixth round of #WiMIR mentoring is just beginning! GET a mentor here! bit.ly/31ewCMP Sign up to be a mentor here! bit.ly/351yXfq Submissions close on Dec. 15, with matches announced in Jan 2021. #WomenInSTEM 1/3

Come join myself and Michael I Mandel as @eva_zangerle rotates off this super interesting and important committee.

🧵 The #ismir2021 conference is underway! Here’s what’s happening with #WiMIR and Diversity & Inclusion around the conference... @ismir2021 #WomenInTech #WomenInStem #DiversityAndInclusion 1/ ismir2021.ismir.net

Want to know what we're up to in the neural interfaces group at Reality Labs at Meta? -> Two members of the team I'm on recently gave a talk at Mila - Institut québécois d'IA, check out our work on non-invasive neural interfaces: bluejeans.com/playback/s/JCb…

Michael I Mandel and I gave a talk at Mila - Institut québécois d'IA covering some of our work at Reality Labs at Meta towards building non-invasive neural interfaces using electromyography (EMG): sites.google.com/lisa.iro.umont… Full talk: bluejeans.com/playback/s/JCb…

Teaching DSP this Fall, so I'm relaunching my YouTube video series. If you/your colleagues are teaching DSP this year, your students might find useful. Pls LMK any errors, feedback, & requests for future videos! Course info here: creating-at-a-distance.com/applied-dsp/ youtube.com/playlist?list=…

1/7 For the past decade, our team at Meta Reality Labs (previously CTRL-labs) has been dedicated to developing a neuromotor interface. Our goal is to address the Human Computer Interaction challenge of providing effortless, intuitive, and efficient input to computers.

You might think speech recognition is "solved" with models such as OpenAI’s Whisper, but it's not. Natural conversations with distant microphones still lack effective solutions. To illustrate, on our newly released NOTSOFAR meeting benchmark, Whisper large-v3 with head-mounted

1/ We just open-sourced two large wrist electromyography (EMG) datasets - one towards typing without a keyboard and the other for predicting hand poses - with baselines. We believe these will help advance research into making high bandwidth non-invasive neuromotor interfaces a

We’re thrilled to see our advanced ML models and EMG hardware — that transform neural signals controlling muscles at the wrist into commands that seamlessly drive computer interactions — appearing in the latest edition of nature. Read the story: nature.com/articles/s4158… Find
