Back to Manchester, invited by @acoustics_ac_uk to give a talk on loudness at Acoustics 2024, today, 10:30.

[Emma Holmes @Emma_Holmes_90]

Consider submitting an abstract to VCCA 2024 (virtual conference on computational audiology) - deadline 1st May. This is a great conference & even has free registration! More details here: https://t.co/3Cz9o3g6Uj @CompAudiology

The thinker and the listener, that's what my lab is about. Thx to the @royalsociety for this research grant that allows us high-quality recordings for auditory perception. We'll work on the thinker. (https://t.co/dpV9m8b7Es)

Results of high-frequency audiometry based on Bayesian Active Learning (it works well) with my colleagues from Denmark, now in Trends in Hearing: https://t.co/bkF3g9sVMC

Later today at the @CamHearingGroup Christmas Symposium. Also in Potsdam next month, still a few (but not many) tickets left: https://t.co/5V5SNrK3Zw

Should scientists post more selfies?

Santa Clause came early... Thank you HEADacoustics for the support!

👻 Happy Halloween @UCLPALS 👻

Michael Chesnaye from @ISVRsouthampton just got our paper accepted in IEEE Transactions on Biomedial Engineering . It's about faster measurements of auditory brainstem responses by using Bayesian active learning. Soon to be found here: https://t.co/Zec5RZKwMX @IEEEembs

Chance to combine a day trip to Cambridge with linguistics/NLP "science sightseeing" at my college:

[Wolfson College @WolfsonCam]

We're opening our doors in September for #OpenCambridge!

Visit us for a rare chance to look at Karen Spärk Jones's antiquarian books, as well as the opportunity to browse her modern collection too 📚

🗓️ Mon 11 Sep at 11.00 & 14.00
📍 Wolfson College Library

@carignan_c Just listen to symphonies of Dvorak or Mahler. My YouTube always continues with Star Wars music.

[Josef Schlittenlacher @js_shaps]

Highly recommended read. I'm always hard to myself and respect that attitude in those close to me. But there is no one size fits all in stress management, and it could even kill. You don't see if a person has SLE or other auto immune disorders.

New publication on a highly accurate, data-driven diagnosis of hearing loss sustained during military service: https://t.co/cvwn2NsycH It's already helping veterans to get a fair compensation.

I'm officially to loudness what A4 is to paper. 🙃 Our computational model has become international standard ISO 532-3, contributing to a quieter world and UN @SustDev Goal 3 Healthy Lives and Well-Being. https://t.co/b9eIGM9zCi @SustainableUCL

Is meeting all of my five MSc project students on one day too much? Certainly not, very rewarding for me with the motivation that I saw in their eyes and progress. Deserves to be concluded with a sixth symphony.

Job ad now live! *Funded PhD opportunity* at UCL (London, UK) researching how central cognitive pathways interact with hearing loss, using behaviour and pupillometry. Deadline 8th June. Full details and application portal: https://t.co/3ma4mAYeZp @SHaPS_UCL @UCLPALS [please RT]

[Josef Schlittenlacher @js_shaps]

Finished my first term with lectures at UCL. Really happy about the enthusiasm I received from many students and course evaluations where they felt prepared for a career in data science. Great motivation to deliver in our new speech technology route. Good luck in the coursework!

[Josef Schlittenlacher @js_shaps]

Congratulations Richard from @ISVRsouthampton and @GSTTnhs on your PhD. It was an honour to be a first reader/examiner of this great work on improving diagnoses by applying deep learning to neuroscientific measures.
