Mon Oct 5 · 7 PMSpatial structure in audio representationsTalkSteinhardt 6F
Research talk by Chuyang Chen, PhD student, NYU MARL, on "Probing Spatial Structure in Pretrained Audio Representations" (Chen, Ding, Roman, Bello). Pretrained audio models know what a sound is. Do they know where it came from, or what room it was in? Chuyang presents SARL, a benchmark that puts that question to thirteen widely used models. No background needed. Talk and Q&A, open to all NYU students.
