Title: "Computational
Audition: Correlograms and CASA"
Malcolm Slaney
Abstract:
The goal of computational audition is to build
numerical models of auditory perception that bridge the gap between the
neurophysiology and the psychoacoustics.
In this talk, I'll describe the correlogram, a
successful model of pitch perception and auditory perception. I'll describe our work over the years on
understanding the cocktail party effect, and the unfortunate path this
bottom-up approach took us. I'll talk
about some of the evidence for a combined bottom-up/top-down approach to
perception. And describe a hopeful approach.
