"Listening in the Wild" workshop - Fri 28th August 2015 - QMUL (London, UK)
- How do animals recognise sounds in noisy multisource environments?
- How should machines recognise sounds in noisy multisource environments?
This workshop will bring together researchers in engineering disciplines
(machine listening, signal processing, computer science) and biological
disciplines (bioacoustics, ecology, perception and cognition), to
discuss complementary perspectives on making sense of natural and
everyday sound.
The workshop is free to attend, but you must register on our Eventbrite
