Audio PROcessing and internet of SOUNDS

 

ProSOUNDS is a series of events that aim at providing theoretical knowledge and practical activities for students on four main topics: (a) Audio signal processing, (b) Acoustics, (c) Speech processing and (d) Applications on the Internet of Sounds (IoS).

ACTIVITIES. Three events will be taught in UNIBZ, at NOI Tech Park, including a basic introduction to audio signal processing, sound physics and acoustics, and speech processing. The second event will also include the talk of Dr. Marco Olivieri, Audio System Design Specialist at Ferrari S.p.A. The students will attend the fourth seminar at UNITN, which will include an introduction to the IoS field and its practical applications. While the mornings will be dedicated to frontal lectures, the afternoons will consist of practical experiences to apply the acquired knowledge in real use cases.

PARTICIPANTS. The school target is PhD students, but also Bachelor and Master students of the (a) Faculties of Engineering, Design, and Education of UNIBZ and (b) Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science of UNITN can request to participate. All UNIBZ students will receive travel reimbursement for reaching UNITN, and vice-versa. Students of the Conservatory of Bozen and Trento are also eligible participate to in the school but cannot request travel reimbursement.

PREREQUISITES. Knowledge of math and basic programming skills are required. Different backgrounds are welcome as they will enrich the experience.
