Informatics Research Proposal-Modelling the Semantics of Sound

This study considers the task of assigning semantic representations to non-speech audio by constructing acoustic and semantic spaces and then learning a mapping between, building on an approach proposed by M. Slaney (2002). Such a semantic system allows audio classification and retrieval and a key aspect is intelligent handling of novel events based on the similarity to known events.
