If you can't make the webinar, feel free to ask Qs in advance on our google group. https://t.co/v2n3kMybHc We'll be showing how to use the baselines, explaining the rules and introducing the challenges.
We're running a webinar and Q&A to help entrants to the latest @CadenzaChalleng challenges on improving lyric intelligibility and rebalancing classical ensembles. https://t.co/Yn1uGhsCul Fri, 13 Sept, 11am UK UK time. We'll record for those who can't make it.

Our 2nd Machine Learning Challenge CAD2 has launched 🚀. There are two tasks 1. Improving the intelligibility of lyrics. 2. Rebalancing the level of instruments within a classical music ensemble. https://t.co/x8enUWyJ8Q 🎶🦻🏽

Look out for the CAD2 launch tomorrow. As well as this task on improving lyric intelligibility there is also one on rebalancing classical music for small ensembles. #machinelearning #music #challenge
CAD2 Machine Learning challenges to improve music for those with hearing loss. We've been developing a metric to measure lyric intelligibility. It uses the pyClarity hearing loss model + Whisper ASR. Graph is words correct. x: listener scores. y:new metric. 1/2

It also depends on the type of music. Ballads need to be clear so the plot can be followed, other genres (heavy metal?) maybe less so. More on the challenge https://t.co/OGhJw7k4Fk 3/3 Thanks to the focus group participants. #DraftResults

Interesting definition that doesn't include understanding the lyrics, just being able to hear them clearly. The defn challenge is lyrics aren't always clear and that is an artistic choice (e.g. singer whose words are intrinsically unclear). 2/3

In prep for our CAD2 challenge launching in 2 weeks 😬 we've been working with a focus group of people with hearing loss to define Lyric Intelligibility "Lyric intelligibility refers to how clearly and effortlessly the words in the music can be heard." 1/3

People with hearing loss tend to get fewer words correct as might be expected. But where scores are high (lots of words correct) the hearing loss group seem to be doing better.
These are words correct. Listeners hear a bit of music and say what lyrics they heard. x-axis is the old study. y-axis our new study with people with hearing loss. #preliminary

Preps for our next machine learning challenge CAD2 https://t.co/OGhJw7k4Fk in full swing. One track is improving lyric intelligibility for people with hearing loss. We've been replicating a previous study https://t.co/VqG9l1pwLL to refine our metric for lyric intelligibility 🧵
