On 12-15 October, several CMAI researchers will participate at the 2025 IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics, taking place at the Granlibakken Tahoe Resort near Lake Tahoe, in Tahoe City, CA, USA. WASPAA is a premier event in the field of audio signal processing, organised by the IEEE's Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing (AASP) technical committee, with a strong focus on music signal processing and computational sound scene analysis.

The Centre for Multimodal AI, as in previous years, will have a strong presence at WASPAA 2025.

In the Technical Programme, the following papers are authored by CMAI members:

• Latent Acoustic Mapping for Direction of Arrival Estimation: A Self-Supervised Approach (Adrian S. Roman, Iran R. Roman, Juan Pablo Bello)
• RUMAA: Repeat-Aware Unified Music Audio Analysis for Score-Performance Alignment, Transcription, and Mistake Detection (Sungkyun Chang, Simon Dixon, Emmanouil Benetos)
• Modulation Discovery with Differentiable Digital Signal Processing (Christopher Mitcheltree, Hao Hao Tan, Joshua D. Reiss)
• Beyond Architecture: The Critical Impact of Inference Overlap on Music Source Separation Benchmarks (Harnick Khera, Johan Pauwels, Alan W. Archer-Boyd, Mark B. Sandler)
• Improving Inference-Time Optimisation for Vocal Effects Style Transfer with a Gaussian Prior (Chin-Yun Yu, Marco A. Martínez-Ramírez, Junghyun Koo, Wei-Hsiang Liao, Yuki Mitsufuji, George Fazekas)
• Self-Supervised Representation Learning with a JEPA Framework for Multi-instrument Music Transcription (Mary Pilataki, Matthias Mauch, Simon Dixon)

In the Demo Session, the following demos will be presented by C4DM members:

• Neural Audio Synthesis for Non-Keyboard Instruments (Franco Caspe, Andrew McPherson, Mark Sandler)
• PCA-DiffVox: Augmenting Vocal Effects Tweakability With a Bijective Latent Space (Chin-Yun Yu, Marco A. Martínez-Ramírez, Junghyun Koo, Wei-Hsiang Liao, Yuki Mitsufuji, George Fazekas)

See you at WASPAA!
