PhD Position in Digital Document Analysis

  • Digitization is an important means to preserve the content of materials which are basically vulnerable to physical damages. In particular, paper based (and especially historical) documents account for an invaluable source of information. The goal of this PhD project is to develop machine learning tools for analyzing scans of documents.
  • We are looking for a Master in Mathematics, Computer Science or Engineering with expertise or interest in image processing, machine learning and natural language processing in particular.

Acoustic Echo Cancellation Challenge: Datasets and Testing Framework - ICASSP 2021

Associated SPS Event: IEEE ICASSP 2021 Grand Challenge

The ICASSP 2021 Acoustic Echo Cancellation Challenge is intended to stimulate research in the area of acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), which is an important part of speech enhancement and still a top issue in audio communication and conferencing systems. Many recent AEC studies report good performance on synthetic datasets where the train and test samples come from the same underlying distribution.
