Researching how sound is captured, processed, and understood, from speech recognition to spatial audio.
In this talk, we explore advancements in computational models for speech quality assessment. Self-supervised learning models have emerged as powerful front-ends, outperforming supervised-only models. However, their large size renders them impractical for production tasks. We…
This talk will explore how large-scale self-supervised learning, combined with our latest multimodal neurotechnology—the newly released Muse integrating EEG and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)—and an open citizen science platform, accelerates the development of robust and…
In this issue: our CHI 2025 & ICLR 2025 contributions, plus research on causal reasoning & LLMs; countering LLM jailbreak attacks; and how people use AI vs. AI-alone. Also, SVP of Microsoft Health Jim Weinstein…
Sonora is a novel AI-powered system developed by Microsoft Research that enables real-time, voice-driven creation and navigation of immersive 3D audio environments. Designed to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety, Sonora blends cutting-edge AI technologies—including large…
