Enjoyed my first @interspeech.bsky.social conference. Seems like a great community. Well organized and great venue. This is how big conferences could look like. Take notes, ICASSP!

Now in Rotterdam at @interspeech.bsky.social with @cifkao.bsky.social and @hschreiber.bsky.social

Harvard Business on Open Source: When PyTorch left Meta for its own non-profit, "this shift led to a significant decrease in contributions from Meta but a notable increase from external companies...participation increased from complementors (Chip Manufacturers);" papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

🚀 We’re looking for a Master’s student to join our research team for a 6-month internship at AudioShake! Deep dive into PyTorch, optimize our SOTA audio models, and help make ML sound better (and faster) 🎶 Based in Paris or remote 🇫🇷 → audioshake.notion.site/Internship-M... #AudioML #Internship

🚀 New #ICLR2025 Paper Alert! 🚀 Can Audio Foundation Models like Moshi and GPT-4o truly engage in natural conversations? 🗣️🔊 We benchmark their turn-taking abilities and uncover major gaps in conversational AI. 🧵👇 📜: arxiv.org/abs/2503.01174

@interspeech.bsky.social new to the speech community coming from ISMIR/ICASSP/Eusipco/DAFX. How come Interspeech is that much more expensive than other conferences? This makes it very hard for many researchers to get approval!

Not knowing much about spatial audio: how do people render multiple dry mono sources to a wet reverberated stereo image where each source has a fixed position in space? I guess one could use ambisonics RiRs to create stereo images? But whats the easier way to handle the positioning?

AudioShake’s Multi-Speaker Separation is the first-ever hi-res solution for isolating overlapping voices. Perfect for media pros, transcription, & AI voice workflows. 🔗www.audioshake.ai/post/introducing-multi-speaker-separation-from-audioshake

How stem separation tech brought the legendary voice of Maria Callas back to life in “Maria". 🎶 Isolating Callas’s original vocals allowed @warnerclassics.bsky.social and filmmakers to control and blend her voice with Jolie’s performance. 🔗 Read: www.audioshake.ai/post/audiosh...

We just released the Helium-1 model , a 2B multi-lingual LLM which @exgrv.bsky.social and @lmazare.bsky.social have been crafting for us! Best model so far under 2.17B params on multi-lingual benchmarks 🇬🇧🇮🇹🇪🇸🇵🇹🇫🇷🇩🇪 On HF, under CC-BY licence: huggingface.co/kyutai/heliu...

Our article, "Diffusion Models for Audio Restoration: A Review," is now published in the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine! A huge thank you to all co-authors Jean-Marie Lemercier, Julius Richter, Simon Welker, Eloi Moliner, and Vesa Välimäki for a great collaboration. doi.org/10.1109/MSP....

Today, we’re introducing NatureLM-audio: the first large audio-language model tailored for understanding animal sounds. arxiv.org/abs/2411.07186 🧵👇

Where is AGI that charges all my devices and batteries?

Since this is a new platform and mHuBERT-147 just reached 86k downloads, let me make some promotion! This year we released a compact powerful multilingual SSL model. Trained on balanced, high-quality, open-license data, this model rivals MMS-1B but is 10x smaller. huggingface.co/utter-projec...

📢 Audio AI Job opportunity at Adobe! The Sound Design AI Group (SODA) is looking for an exceptional research engineer to join us in building the future of AI-assisted audio and video creation. Strong ML background, GenAI experience a plus. Details: adobe.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/external_exp...

🚨🚨My team @GoogleDeepMind in Tokyo is looking for a talented research scientist to work on audio generative models! 🔊 Please consider applying if you have expertise in the domain or related areas such as multimodal models, video generation 📹, etc. boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/job...

€700M and not even generative? Doesn’t seem like a good investment. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

🎓Academia or the industry 💸? I wrote a detailed point of view on Twitter a few months ago, so maybe I should share it here again. I think that most things are still true, the only slight change would be linked to the GenAI bubble, but only time will tell. www.darnault-parcollet.fr/documents/Ba...

The Reality for AI Startups

Here’s the most charitable reading I can offer: The tech barons behaved as though they were atop a social hierarchy, and expected mass adoration for their generosity+forgiveness for mistakes. Instead, Elizabeth Warren, Lina Khan et al treated them like the heads of *massive corporations.*

Is there any Bluesky app that could just do the bare minimum of remembering the position in the timeline when closing? This is as bad as twitter was when I left years ago

Impressive list of tasks (including separation). Also they demo a MUSDB18 track in the demo, so I have to like it? https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/fugatto-gen-ai-sound-model/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj1Sp8He6e4

I'm putting together a starter pack of audio developers, I'm finding it surprisingly hard to find them. Any suggestions welcome... go.bsky.app/TJykYAM

My dear friend @pkirn.bsky.social has put together this Starter Pack which is worthy of a “Follow All”… go.bsky.app/JwEMgBH

Audio bandwidth extension (why do people call this super-resolution?) is making quite some progress! demo: aeromamba-super-resolution.github.io code: github.com/aeromamba-su...

#ismir2025 already has an website! isn't it crazy? ismir2025.ismir.net

I initiated a starter pack for Audio ML. Let me know if you'd like to be added/removed. go.bsky.app/LGmct4z

I’m sad that mastodons failed to attract researchers. But mostly because I like the ivory for Mac and iOS. But let’s see if they add support at some point 🤞

@carlthome.bsky.social no way! My social media world is complete again! 😃

@jordiponsdotme.bsky.social hello hello. I was hoping you would all do mastodon but well… Looks like you found all audio folks already here. What about creating an audio science starter pack?
