How can learned quantized representations help to address human mesh recovery? In VQ-HPS, to be presented at #ECCV2024, we frame HMR as a classification task in a quantized latent space. (1/6)

Thrilled to have contributed to the evaluation of speech enhancement methods in the CHiME-7 UDASE task, now published in Computer Speech & Language. 📚🔊 #CHiMEChallenge Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.csl.…

We're organizing a special issue at Computer Speech & Language about Multi-Speaker, Multi-Microphone, and Multi-Modal Distant Speech Recognition. Deadline: December 2, 2024 sciencedirect.com/journal/comput… CHiME Challenge

Great piece of work led by François Rozet in which we revisit the good old EM algorithm to learn diffusion models from corrupted data only. Bonus: This also includes a new posterior sampling scheme for diffusion models!

During my postdoc at Cornell (2017–2020), i worked on machine listening of flight calls for bird migration monitoring as part of the NSF project BIRDVOX This IEEE TASLP article concludes the project hal.science/hal-04670882

We are thrilled to announce the Interspeech 2025 URGENT Challenge, starting on 11/15! Join us in building universal speech enhancement models to tackle in-the-wild speech data using large-scale, multilingual data. Details: urgent-challenge.github.io/urgent2025/

In my keynote at ISMIR Conference yesterday I played video messages from musicians asking the assembled AI researchers not to train on their music without their consent. It’s testament to the respect the ISMIR community has for musicians that the reaction was overwhelmingly positive.

PESTO 2.0 è rilasciato! 🥳🥳🥳 With Brazilian chef Bernardo Torres (and others), we revisit this traditional italian sauce, invented in Milan at ISMIR Conference 2023 🇮🇹 And you can taste it in REAL-TIME at home (~5 ms latency) ⏱️ 1/6

CHiME Challenge ⭐⭐ We are happy to announce the release of the tasks for the 9th CHiME Speech Separation and Recognition Challenge (CHiME-9). ⚡⚡ Please visit the CHiME Challenge website for details chimechallenge.org ⚡⚡

New video on the details of diffusion models: youtu.be/iv-5mZ_9CPY Produced by Welch Labs, this is the first in a small series of 3b1b this summer. I enjoyed providing editorial feedback throughout the last several months, and couldn't be happier with the result.

Enjoyed a great INTERSPEECH 2025 experience! (my first since 2019 at Austria😮‍💨) Kudos to the organizers! Please find our tutorial slides here: voicemos-challenge-2023.github.io/speech-synthes… Also if you work on MOS prediction make sure you check out SHEET! github.com/unilight/sheet
