Machine Audition

Machine audition is the study of algorithms and systems for the automatic analysis and understanding of sound by machine. It has recently attracted increasing interest within several research communities such as signal processing machine learning auditory modeling perception and cognition psychology pattern recognition and artificial intelligence. However the developments made so far are fragmented within these disciplines lacking connections and incurring potentially overlapping research activities in this subject area. Machine Audition: Principles Algorithms and Systems contains advances in algorithmic developments theoretical frameworks and experimental research findings. This book is useful for professionals who want an improved understanding about how to design algorithms for performing automatic analysis of audio signals construct a computing system for understanding sound and learn how to build advanced human-computer interactive systems.
