Headed by Prof. Bryan Pardo, the Interactive Audio Lab is in the Computer Science Department of Northwestern University. We develop new methods in Machine Learning, Signal Processing and Human Computer Interaction to make new tools for understanding and manipulating sound.
Ongoing research in the lab is applied to audio scene labeling, audio source separation, inclusive interfaces, new audio production tools and machine audition models that learn without supervision. For more see our projects page.

Deep Learning Tools for Audacity
Hugo Flores Garcia, Aldo Aguilar, Ethan Manilow, Dmitry Vedenko and Bryan Pardo
We provide a software framework that lets deep learning practitioners easily integrate their own PyTorch models into the open-source Audacity DAW. This lets ML audio researchers put tools in the hands of sound artists without doing DAW-specific development work.
