Sam at the AugmentedHearing.io office in Denmark
KI student Sam did an internship with AugmentedHearing.io in Denmark, supported in part by the KI donor-funded Knowledge Integration Experience Award.
Here's how Sam describes their experience:
I interned at a Danish sound processing company located on the Danish Technical University’s campus. AugmentedHearing.io (AH) is a sound processing company that mixes artificial intelligence and psychoacoustics to remove background noise and enhance speech to improve the user’s listening experience. My role with them was to validate their noise removal software by determining objective measurements that could show stakeholders how speech intelligibility was improved with our product.
Now, for my senior honours project, I am researching how to improve AH’s speech enhancement algorithm by looking into what phonemes are often confused with one another and seeing how we can create sound filters to improve the distinction between them. This is a very new field with many possibilities and I am so looking forward to working more in this domain.
