The Interactive Audio Lab
Welcome to the Interactive Audio Lab, headed by Bryan Pardo. We are a research group in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department of Northwestern University . Our research group is interested in machine perception of sound and audio. We apply machine learning, probabilistic natural language processing, and database search techniques to auditory user interfaces for human-computer interaction, with an emphasis on music and speech prosody. Feel free to take a look at all our current research, our publications and our lab members.Current Projects

UNDERGRADUATE STUDY POSITION AVAILABLE
Apply your programming skills in the Interactive Audio Lab. We are looking for undergraduate programmers interested in developing interactive web and iphone applications. Desired skills include knowledge of Java or Flash or SQL or PHP or iPhone development. Pay is better than the typical on-campus job and hours are relatively flexible. Example projects include a search engine that finds songs based on your sung example and an on-line karaoke game. Tasks have the potential to develop into honors thesis projects and conference papers. Email Bryan Pardo (pardo "at" northwestern.edu) to find out more.
