Subject: [AUDITORY] Launch webinar for Cadenza Machine Learning Challenge CAD2 From: Trevor Cox <0000017832c3f089-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 5 Sep 2024 15:15:33 +0000--_000_AS1PR01MB1010414FC1524E6CC6894CD38ED9D2AS1PR01MB10104eu_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The Cadenza Challenges are trying to improve music for people with a hearin= g loss. The 2nd Cadenza Challenge (CAD2) has two tasks: 1. Improving the intelligibility of lyrics for pop/rock music. 2. Demixing/remixing a small classical music ensemble (e.g. string quartet) to= allow personalised mixes. To support participants to the challenge, we are running a webinar on Frida= y, 13th September 2024, at 11:00 AM UK Time. https://cadenzachallenge.org/d= ocs/cadenza2/webinar We will explain why these tasks are important for people with hearing loss;= give an overview of the challenges tasks, data and rules; and present some= tutorials demonstrating the baseline software. That will be followed by a = Q&A. Trevor Trevor Cox Professor of Acoustic Engineering Newton Building, University of Salford, Salford M5 4WT, UK.
