Abstract: We will discuss problems in audio personalization for humans, in the context of earphones, hearing aids, or glasses. Many systems or models are trained based on public datasets, however, personalizing those models to a specific user often brings the burden of collecting that user’s data. How can we reduce this burden? We will discuss some of our recent work on (1) self-supervised audio denoising for earphones, and (2) black-box optimization methods for personalizing hearing aids (or any other content for that matter) from a limited number of user’s feedback. We will spend the last part of the talk on potentially generalizing the ideas to other applications that audience members may be working on.
