Aeroacoustic emissions from intense evaporation are widely measured yet often treated as noisy byproducts and used mainly in empirical monitoring. Here, we show that airborne sound encodes physics-governed sub-millisecond fingerprints of…
Accurate estimation of indoor space geometries is vital for constructing precise digital twins, whose broad industrial applications include navigation in unfamiliar environments and efficient evacuation planning, particularly in low-light…
Moving around in the world is naturally a multisensory experience, but today's embodied agents are deaf---restricted to solely their visual perception of the environment. We introduce audio-visual navigation for complex, acoustically and…
In this paper we study the problem of acoustic scene classification, i.e., categorization of audio sequences into mutually exclusive classes based on their spectral content. We describe the methods and results discovered during a…
Acoustic data provide scientific and engineering insights in fields ranging from bioacoustics and communications to ocean and earth sciences. In this review, we survey recent advances and the transformative potential of machine learning…
A room's acoustic properties are a product of the room's geometry, the objects within the room, and their specific positions. A room's acoustic properties can be characterized by its impulse response (RIR) between a source and listener…
This article aims to introduce the broad field of soft active matter physics and its relevance to the life sciences in simple, accessible language. Although this area of research is relatively new, it has already demonstrated significant…
One of the challenges in computational acoustics is the identification of models that can simulate and predict the physical behavior of a system generating an acoustic signal. Whenever such models are used for commercial applications an…

We study the connection between audio-visual observations and the underlying physics of a mundane yet intriguing everyday activity: pouring liquids. Given only the sound of liquid pouring into a container, our objective is to automatically…
Accurately estimating and simulating the physical properties of objects from real-world sound recordings is of great practical importance in the fields of vision, graphics, and robotics. However, the progress in these directions has been…
Although recent video-to-audio (V2A) models excelled at synthesizing semantically plausible sounds from visual inputs, they do not explicitly model room-acoustic effects such as reverberation or room impulse responses (RIRs), and thus offer…
Acoustic propagation models are widely used in numerous oceanic and other underwater applications. Most conventional models are approximate solutions of the acoustic wave equation, and require accurate environmental knowledge to be…
Virtual acoustic environments enable the creation and simulation of realistic and ecologically valid daily-life situations with applications in hearing research and audiology. Hereby, reverberant indoor environments play an important role.…
Minimum aberration is an increasingly popular criterion for comparing and assessing fractional factorial designs, and few would question its importance and usefulness nowadays. In the past decade or so, a great deal of work has been done on…
