About Me

Hi everyone, my name is Dr. R. Pradeep, and I'm a Senior Technical Specialist at Sony India Software Center. My passion lies in pushing the boundaries of audio technology, particularly in the areas of speech, audio, and music signal processing.

During my PhD at IIT Kharagpur (2014-2021), my research focused on fundamental frequency estimation – the essence of pitch – across music, speech, and singing voices. This work has been published in prestigious conferences like INTERSPEECH, showcasing my commitment to impactful research.

Since joining Sony, I've delved into a wider range of audio applications. From analyzing audio quality and personalizing user audio experience to exploring real-time speech voice conversion, real-time singing voice conversion, real-time target speaker separation and real-time speech enhancement, I'm constantly seeking innovative ways to improve user audio experience.

In this talk, I'm excited to share my expertise in differentiable digital signal processing applied to audio domain. We'll explore models that can train without a labelled dataset and understand potential use cases.

Let's embark on this journey together and unlock the potential of deep learning for the future of audio engineering!
