Complex Auditory Scenes with Maggie McMullin
For this episode, Andrew recorded an interview with Maggie McMullin, a researcher at University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
Indeed, this episode is about complex (natural) auditory scenes, but - what makes them so complex? Why we need machine learning tools to analyse them? How to start looking into them in the first place?
This conversation took place at the ASA May event in Chicago, Illinois, but it's about everywhere and everything you can hear from Nevada to Wisconsin.
