This is a conversation you would want to listen to especially if you have an elderly family member at home.  Started as a R&D team consisting of a group of engineers from the Agency of Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Soundeye is a social enterprise that uses sound recognition and radar sensors to detect abnormal events such as when an elderly member gets up out of bed or stands up from a wheelchair.  More notably, the startup aims to detect falls and calls for help without the use of CCTVs to ensure privacy.  The firm currently serves clients within and out of the elderly market, including the Thye Hua Kwan Nursing Home, the Bishan Home, the Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore, and even the Changi Airport Group.  It recently completed a number of projects related to surveillance and bed exit monitoring in a nursing home in Japan. Meanwhile, Soundeye is part of the Sustainable Impact Accelerator Programme by raiSE and Quest Ventures. It also works closely with government agencies here in Singapore, and has secured subsidies for up to 80% of its projects as of last May, based on a report by Krasia. But what is the strategic value of working with this group of players and how does the firm intend to rapidly scale up its business? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Yeow Kee Tan, Chief Executive Officer, Soundeye.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Apple has recently activated a feature that enables the HomePod and HomePod mini smart speakers to recognize the sound of smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and send a notification alert to your iPhone or iPad. In this episode of our podcast, Thomas Domville walks us through the process of setting this up.The Sound Recognition feature uses the always-on microphone inside the HomePod to listen out for a home's existing smoke and carbon monoxide detector. When it hears the alarm, the HomePod sends a notification to your iPhone or iPad via the Home app. This means you don't need to invest in new internet-connected smoke alarms systems, as the HomePod can simply enhance the utility of your existing "dumb" offline smoke alarms. If you have HomeKit-compatible security cameras in your house, the notification will include a live video feed so you can remotely assess what's happening.To enable Sound Recognition, follow these simple steps: open the Home app on your iPhone or iPad, then navigate to the Home Settings -> Safety & Security screen. There, you can enable the Sound Recognition feature. In addition, you can manage critical notification alerts from supported safety and security devices in your home, and even allow home members to "check in" and listen to the sounds in the home. It's worth noting that the Sound Recognition settings can also be accessed via a HomePod's dedicated Settings. Simply perform a long press on the HomePod's tile in the Home app to access its settings.(If the Safety & Security section is dimmed out, ensure your HomePod and all other Apple devices are up-to-date with the latest software.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.09.25.509427v1?rss=1 Authors: Koumura, T., Terashima, H., Furukawa, S. Abstract: Natural sounds contain rich patterns of amplitude modulation (AM), which is one of the essential sound dimensions for hearing perception. The sensitivity of human hearing to AM measured by psychophysics takes diverse forms, from low-pass to high-pass, depending on the experimental conditions. Here, we address with a single framework the questions of why such patterns of AM sensitivity have emerged in the human auditory system and how they are realized by our neural mechanisms. Assuming that optimization for natural sound recognition has taken place during human evolution and development, we examined its effect on the formation of AM sensitivity by optimizing a computational model, specifically, a multi-layer (or deep) neural network, for natural sound recognition and simulating psychophysical experiments in which the model's AM sensitivity was measured. Relatively higher layers in the optimized model exhibited qualitatively and quantitatively similar AM sensitivity to that of humans, even though the model was not designed to reproduce human-like AM sensitivity. The similarity of the model's AM sensitivity to humans' correlated with its sound recognition accuracy. Optimization of the model to degraded sounds revealed the necessity of natural AM patterns for the emergence of human-like AM sensitivity. Consistent results were observed from optimizations to two different types of natural sound. Moreover, simulated neurophysiological experiments on the same model revealed a correspondence between the model layers and the auditory brain regions that is based on the similarity of their neural AM tunings. The layers in which human-like psychophysical AM sensitivity emerged exhibited substantial neurophysiological similarity with the auditory midbrain and higher regions. These results suggest that the behavioral AM sensitivity of human hearing has emerged as a result of optimization for natural-sound recognition in the course of our evolution and/or development and that it is based on a stimulus representation encoded in the neural firing rates in the auditory midbrain and higher regions.

Added in iOS 14, Sound Recognition is an accessibility feature that uses on-device intelligence to listen for certain sounds, like a doorbell, fire alarm or a baby crying, and alert the user if they're detected. With the release of iOS 16, Apple has made it possible to add your own custom sounds. In this podcast, Thomas Domville shows us how this works.

In this podcast, Thomas Domville gives us short looks at some of what's new and notable with Accessibility features in iOS 16.Topics include:Door DetectionNew Voices and localesLive CaptionsHover TextApple Watch MirroringSound Recognition customisationEnd call with Side or Lock buttonSound and haptics feedback for VoiceOver users to identify the starting point for walking directions in Apple MapsThemes and customisation in Apple BooksMagnifier ActivitiesAutomatic CAPTCHA skippingScreen Recognition item focusUse Siri to end calls, set auto-answer, and restart your deviceConfigure Siri's pause timeCustom spellings for Voice ControlStartup chime on iPhone 14 Pro

If you ever wondered how Alexa, Siri, Google can be trained to recognize and process audio, this is the episode for you! In this episode, we speak with Bongjun Kim. Bongjun is an AI researcher at 3M. He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Northwestern University and his research interests include Machine Learning, Audio Signal Processing (e.g. sound event recognition), interactive intelligent systems, multimedia information retrieval, and human-in-the-loop interfaces. He also enjoys working on a musical interface and interactive media art.I love this quote from him, "You need to look at the data before you choose your model. Please review the images, audio, or video to make sure your assumptions are valid." Wise words from an expert. I also highly suggest you pick up a copy of the book he recommends called Learning From Data listed in the liner notes below. I've started reading it and have found it fascinating and insightful!

In this podcast, Thomas Domville introduces us to Sound Recognition, a new accessibility feature in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 that uses on-device intelligence to listen for certain sounds, like a doorbell, fire alarm or a baby crying, and alert the user if they're detected.

Artificial Intelligence: In this pilot episode of the AI podcast, we ask: Why is recognising sounds so hard? Could we build an artificial brain out of chips? And what has Graphcore been up to lately?

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.07.13.200949v1?rss=1 Authors: Traer, J., Norman-Haignere, S. V., McDermott, J. H. Abstract: Sound is caused by physical events in the world. Do humans infer these causes when recognizing sound sources? We tested whether the recognition of common environmental sounds depends on the inference of a basic physical variable - the source intensity (i.e. the power that produces a sound). A sources intensity can be inferred from the intensity it produces at the ear and its distance, which is normally conveyed by reverberation. Listeners could thus use intensity at the ear and reverberation to constrain recognition by inferring the underlying source intensity. Alternatively, listeners might separate these acoustic cues from their representation of a sounds identity in the interest of invariant recognition. We compared these two hypotheses by measuring recognition accuracy for sounds with typically low or high source intensity (e.g. pepper grinders vs. trucks) that were presented across a range of intensities at the ear or with reverberation cues to distance. The recognition of low-intensity sources (e.g. pepper grinders) was impaired by high presentation intensities or reverberation that conveyed distance, either of which imply high source intensity. Neither effect occurred for high-intensity sources. The results suggest that listeners implicitly use the intensity at the ear along with distance cues to infer a sources power and constrain its identity. The recognition of real-world sounds thus appears to depend upon the inference of their physical generative parameters, even generative parameters whose cues might otherwise be separated from the representation of a sounds identity.

Apple filmed their annual keynote for WWDC in Apple Park, not in front of a live studio audience, where many upcoming changes were announced for software and hardware. J.J., taking time out from gathering requests for Orbit Writer Braille Keyboard Smartphone Companion Preorders, and Joe, trying to steal back the PS4 controller from Ricky so he can play the Blind friendly The Last Of Us 2 , asked Jamie Pauls, who was editing a new episode of the Eyes Free Sports Podcast , to join them in this summary of the event s big news. Expect there to be info dumps a plenty as this is a wrap up show after all. And be sure to learn more about what was discussed in the copious pile of links down below.

Home screen widgets are cool. Running iOS apps on a Mac might be if they give more care to the platform's accessibility as a hole. What excites me more is the stuff that was revealed later. Stereo recording on iPhones, the watch getting rotor and Braille... @ed_edwardson Not being able to run VM s on their new CPU s is going to be a major productivity killer for me. I hope Apple will finally put serious resources into improving Mac VoiceOver. It s way overdue. Last Word: Shout outs to our friends over at ACB Main Menu for turning 20 years old.

Dr Chris Mitchell is the CEO and Founder of Audio Analytic, who develop sound recognition software that adds context-based intelligence into consumer technology products. In our conversation, you'll learn what the state of the art sound recognition systems can do, the types of sound events that are typically recognised, which consumer products they're integrated into, and the many benefits and new possibilities the technology affords to developers and users. We discover the difference between sound recognition and speech recognition, how sound recognition provides the all important context for voice enabled devices to make the right decisions, and how smart devices can take advantage of this contextual knowledge. Then we dive into some of the technical details of how it all works, including 'better than real-time processing', edge computing vs the cloud, the need to train custom acoustic models, and how these machine learning models can run on low-resource devices like headphones using TinyML. Chris briefly explains the process of integrating the AI3 framework into your products, then we tackle the all important question of data privacy and security. Many of the smart devices of future will rely on sound recognition to understand the context of their environments. Chris and his team are at the cutting edge of the sound recognition field and are long-time experts in the domain, so there's no better person to introduce us to this important technology.

How our ears screen out sounds so that we can listen selectively only to those sounds we want to hear - like a friend's voice across a noisy room for instance - has been revealed by scientists in Australia. Gary Housley, from the University of New South Wales, has found that the inner ear, known as the cochlea, contains a population of sound-sensitive "hair cells" that communicate with the brain and work like miniature amplifiers to control the sensitivity of the ears to different sound frequencies...
