Acoustic Simulation: The Room Impulse Response (RIR) Paradox
In this fascinating analysis, the senior product manager at Treble Technologies reflects on how the acoustic realism of physics-based environmental simulation and auralization can contribute to advancing training models for speech enhancement, source localization and separation, as well as adaptive noise cancellation. The article proposes Room Impulse Response (RIR) as a way to capture complex sound interactions in any room, and as a critical ingredient that determines the realism and effectiveness of the training data.
