ARG in Italy for IWAENC 2026

ARG went to Cremona (Italy), the home of the Violin, to participate in the 19th IWAENC.

Members of the Audio Research Group participated in the 19th International Workshop on Acoustic Signal Enhancement (IWAENC) in Cremona, Italy.

The Audio Research Group has been in IWAENC from 7th to 10th of September in Cremona (Italy), presenting their poster about their research directions.

The following publications have been presented by ARG members (the presenters are denoted in bold):

  • Yuzhu Wang, Kalle Lahtinen, Patrik Lauha, Shiqi Zhang, Panu Somervuo, Otso Ovaskainen, and Tuomas Virtanen, “Mixture-Constrained Max Pooling Improves Separation-Based Bird Species Classification.”
  • Mikko Heikkinen, Konstantinos Drosos, Archontis Politis, and Tuomas Virtanen “Neural Array-Generic Direction-of-Arrival Estimation Exploiting Array Transfer Functions.“
  • Michael Neri, Archontis Politis, and Tuomas Virtanen, “Dependence on Early and Late Reverberation of Single-Channel Speaker Distance Estimation.“
  • Parthasaarathy Sudarsanam and Tuomas Virtanen, “Self-Supervised Object-Centric Representation for Multi-Task Audio Analysis.“
  • Francesco Colotti, Sanjeel Parekh, Daniel Wong, and Archontis Politis, “Target and Non-Target Multichannel Sound Extraction with Dual-Path Modeling for Wearable Microphone Arrays.“
