Session 1 – Commercializing AI-driven Audio Products
What are the most significant challenges for integrating artificial intelligence into your products? How do we overcome these challenges? In this session, Jay LeBoeuf shares numerous case studies, key insights and interviews from top engineers and executives. The audience will learn that the non-technical issues are often the most significant issues. The talk will focus on the business, product, and user experience issues in integrating AI that were overcome by companies Descript, LANDR, Lyrebird.ai, Avid, iZotope, and more.
Session 2 – Delivering Scalable AI-based Processing for Dolby.io
Today, AI and machine learning are increasingly becoming foundational components of a great product. In the audio world, this is especially true as products and services leverage capabilities such as voice analysis, noise reduction, and sound recognition to deliver simple yet impactful customer experiences. At Dolby, we’ve been working to democratize access to high quality audio processing and analysis via our new platform, Dolby.io.
In this talk, we’ll discuss the challenges of creating a scalable audio processing and analysis platform that takes the best of what signal processing and machine learning have to offer. We’ll also talk about product and business considerations in leveraging these different techniques and launching AI and machine learning at scale.
