This past summer we had the pleasure of hosting 14 brilliant students (most of them pursuing their PhD but also Master's and Bachelor's) for audio research internships in San Francisco and Seattle. We worked together on a wide range of audio-related topics including speech processing, music, video, animation, spatial audio, VR, DAFX... the works! The projects also covered a range of disciplines including machine learning (including a healthy dose of deep learning), signal processing and human computer interaction; and a range of problems within these disciplines such as self-supervision and representation learning, metric learning, classification, transformation and generation (synthesis).
As a mentor, it was an incredible experience to guide, collaborate, and learn from this diverse group of people coming from a variety of disciplines and universities in 5 different countries. Between interns and mentors we spanned 11 different countries of origin, making it a truly international group! I'm also delighted to say a large proportion of internship projects have resulted in paper submissions to top-tier venues including ICASSP, CVPR, ICLR, CHI and IEEE VR, with upcoming submissions to INTERSPEECH and ISMIR in preparation!
The 2019 audio research interns were:
I look forward to keeping in touch with everyone and hope we get to collaborate again in the future!
