Excited to share that our paper, OWL, has been accepted to ICLR. We show how an audio LM infers where a sound is in 3D space (direction and distance) and provide spatially grounded reasoning steps. Huge congratulations to @Subrata265 and @nur!

🚀Our lab just dropped LLaSA - the first LLM that actually gets IMU sensor data. We're mixing wearables with language models to level up activity analysis. Check out our new datasets, advancing human activity understanding. https://t.co/qtbYzIQB87 #AI #MachineLearning #BASHLab

Proud moment as an advisor.
First congrats to Nur for getting his first paper (“Sound Tagging in Infant-centric Home Soundscapes”) in CHASE 2024.
Next, congrats to @Subrata265 for securing a summer research intern position with the Audio Research Team at Meta Reality Labs.

I am delighted to share that BASH Lab received funding from NSF for 2 years. This a special moment for me as it is my first funding as a Lead PI. We will work on increasing the efficiency and reliability of running DNN inference on intermittently powered computing devices.

[Andrew Akbashev @Andrew_Akbashev]

In your application letter for #PhD / postdoc, NEVER ever say:

"Hi prof"
"Hello"
"Dear Professor"
"Greetings of the day"

If you do, your email will be immediately deleted by 99% of professors.

▫️

Only start your applications with “Dear Prof. [second_name],”

And don’t describe how good you are. Explain how valuable you are.

▫️

[Professionalism] + [Value] can go a long way.

Good luck.

A PhD student has asked me about the use of ChatGPT to rephrase the text they have written. Here is the @TheOfficialACM policy on this matter.

It was a great experience to give my first talk at NIH. I am humbly grateful to be in the BRAIN initiative workshop.

What a wonderful journey it has been! Dreamed about this @AcmSensys 2018 and presented 4 years later @AcmSensys 2022. Took 1.5 years to design, with novel contributions from Rishabh, @saadahmed819, J. Huang, @WinkelJasper, @BashimaI, @sinanyil81, @przemyslawp and @ProfJosiah

[Bashima Islam @BashimaI]

@ambuj123 @przemyslawp @ACMDL @abu_bakar___ I would recommend the feather board. It has on board mic and camera. It was around $25 when we got it
