Passive acoustic monitoring is used widely in ecology, biodiversity, and conservation studies. Data sets collected via acoustic monitoring are often extremely large and built to be processed automatically using Artificial Intelligence and…
AI systems for high quality music generation typically rely on extremely large musical datasets to train the AI models. This creates barriers to generating music beyond the genres represented in dominant datasets such as Western Classical…
Sonification, the mapping of data to sound to communicate information about the original data source, is becoming a viable strategy for the sonic representation and communication of information derived from the complex flows of data…
Generative AI, specifically text-to-image models, have revolutionized interior architectural design by enabling the rapid translation of conceptual ideas into visual representations from simple text prompts. While generative AI can produce…
Sound plays a crucial role in enhancing user experience and immersiveness in Augmented Reality (AR). However, current platforms lack support for AR sound authoring due to limited interaction types, challenges in collecting and specifying…
Acoustic-to-articulatory inversion (AAI) is to convert audio into articulator movements, such as ultrasound tongue imaging (UTI) data. An issue of existing AAI methods is only using the personalized acoustic information to derive the…

In the era of extensive intersection between art and Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as image generation and fiction co-creation, AI for music remains relatively nascent, particularly in music understanding. This is evident in the…
Over the last ten years there has been a large increase in the number of projects using sound to represent astronomical data and concepts. Motivation for these projects includes the potential to enhance scientific discovery within complex…
Computing practice today depends on visual output to drive almost all user interaction. Other senses, such as audition, may be totally neglected, or used tangentially, or used in highly restricted specialized ways. We have excellent audio…
The exploration of the universe is experiencing a huge development thanks to the success and possibilities of today's major space telescope missions which can generate measurements and images with a resolution 100 times higher than their…
Interpretability of machine learning models has gained more and more attention among researchers in the artificial intelligence (AI) and human-computer interaction (HCI) communities. Most existing work focuses on decision making, whereas we…
Sonification offers a non-visual way to understand data, with pitch-based encodings being the most common. Yet, how well people perceive slope and acceleration-key features of data trends-remains poorly understood. Drawing on people's…
Even in the digital age, designers largely rely on physical material samples to illustrate their products, as existing visual representations fail to sufficiently reproduce the look and feel of real world materials. Here, we investigate the…
Artificial intelligence (AI) models trained on audio data may have the potential to rapidly perform clinical tasks, enhancing medical decision-making and potentially improving outcomes through early detection. Existing technologies depend…
Recent research efforts in NLP have demonstrated that distributional word vector spaces often encode stereotypical human biases, such as racism and sexism. With word representations ubiquitously used in NLP models and pipelines, this raises…
The increasing success of audio foundation models across various tasks has led to a growing need for improved interpretability to understand their intricate decision-making processes better. Existing methods primarily focus on explaining…
Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) has emerged as a critical tool for interpreting the predictions of complex deep learning models. While XAI has been increasingly applied in various domains within acoustics, its use in bioacoustics,…
Objective: Three perceptually orthogonal auditory dimensions for multidimensional and multivariate data sonification are identified and experimentally validated. Background: Psychoacoustic investigations have shown that orthogonal…
Edukoi is a software that aims to make interactive sonification suitable to convey and extract information. The program design is a modification of the software Herakoi, which sonifies images in real time mapping pitch to colour using a…
