Happy to announce that the four papers in which I’m involved for ICASSP 2021 have been accepted!

The main work I’ve been involved in is:

Unsupervised Contrastive Learning of Sound Event Representations
E. Fonseca, D. Ortego, K. McGuinness, N.E. O’Connor, X. Serra
Accepted in IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2021
[PDF] [code]

This is a collaboration between Dublin City University’s Insight Centre and the MTG-UPF. We’re preparing the PyTorch code release, which we hope to release soon. Stay tuned!


In addition, I’ve been involved in various collaborations with other researchers at Google and the DCASE Task 4 organizers.
