Microsoft Research on Noise Cancellation

[thegreencascade]

These guys are awesome, the guy conducting the interview is an idiot.

[road2sing]

do u know any way i can contact this guy? (i can't catch his name)

cause i'm developing my thesis, and it's about active noise control.

thanks,

Alessandro.

[DrStephenJKrune]

looks both gay and jewish, let me go get my pickup and chain

[y2kjorgeavila]

Nice i like This Smart guys.

Cus all the tec.

Computers, cellphones and so on.

Never see the day.

Thanks. and God

[CRAZYSNIPERJ]

Ron Jeremy of Microsoft

[datzfast]

so what will happen if you run the speech thought the algorithm twice ? will it get cleaner?

[datzfast]

your work is so cool. can you write a program that enables my wife to understant what i say?

[Revenge1986]

Microsoft Research is cool

[ymcagangster]

microsoft can suck my hairy balls

[07duncan17]

another bitch who thinks she has balls ... oh look YMCA FAGOT no kiding gayster hairless dork/u know u r hats probly not on crooked its u r frigen head thats not screwed on right and pull up your pants fag bad enough u walk like a monkey swingin u r arms and all when u talk aswell idiot

[bluesrunthegame]

Frequency smoothing to reduce artifacts from fft processing is old as shit; the guy should have just given stats for how effective his algorithm is at removing noise added to a clean signal.

[Moratorium]

Yes. But the temporal change is REALLY annoying. Just look at adobe audition.

[AlcinoMajor]

this guy sounds like silvester from looney tune!!!

[CRAKIZGOOD]

OMG its NERD 2.0

[mbuckingham24]

Hey! That's GEEK 2.0!

[iApple1000]

Can't wait!

[Wwhaty]

The guy says 'let me show you an example, I'll make a recording of myself' then he chats in the mic but the screen already has the sound, so basically he was lying that he did it live, now how can we believe any of it actually works if they are liars?

[ihaverabies1000]

Not really. If you look back before he starts talking, the spectrogram shows a different image than after he's done talking. In other words, it updated the spectrogram image with his voice in real-time.

[Wwhaty]

I stand corrected, I guess I was fooled by the not live running spectrogram you normally see but the instant flipover only after the recording.

[schnifashkem]

are you stupid? I mean really.. are you?? I mean you guys watch a lot of movie mistakes and some photo shop shit then you doubt everything and try to find some sorta hidden mystrey??

microsoft research is reality sweetheart.

[cpmisalive]

Microsoft has been running these shows for ages, it has to really, just like IBM does - research guys come up with something great, not useful on its own, but combined into a product... Another developer just says "Oooh I could really use that" and off you go. Trouble is there are thousands of developers in many countries, this is a good forum to see what the research bods have come up with. All he needs is a bit of hardware acceleration e.g. spare GPU time and you could do this is realtime...

[thegraay]

or just a multicore system, as where one core takes this as a first priority and other processes (up to some level) as a lower priority...

[aaronp01]

"microphonary" support lol

[widerangledotcom]

sweetness

[chriharr]

God I hope this kind of Ambient Noise Reduction gets out the door one day, I mean there's basic stuff already out there, but improvements like this are important especially to people such as Myself who uses programs such as skype for podcasts and conferencing

even though this is microsoft we are talking about here, I'm sure there's an apple team working on a similar program right now, which will probably get out the door before Microsoft have a chance

[uberdose]

This is very cool. I'm wondering about the possibilty of applying this tech to a home recording setup in a noisy part of the city.

[kiddsock]

Thanks for "Exposing"! LOL

[rooboy69]

there working for microsoft, but they have to come to a public convention for microsoft to tell microsoft about the work they do for microsoft?

RIGHTIO!

[zxdxz]

they better work for google or skype lol

[TheBadAstronomer]

Funny-- as soon as I saw his plot, I thought of a few ways to suppress the background. It's very similar to subtracting the sky background from an astronomical image. I'd love to know how he does it.

[fan2012]

thanks for this vid.

[ludwig97]

Hey, did you guys ever consider looking to the hearing aid industry for speech in noise algorithms? I'm an audiologist and the noise reduction algorithms in use in today's advanced hearing aids are pretty great.

[shanedk]

Nice! I wonder how many other incredible things there are being done by Microsoft programmers who just can't get the attention?

[tylerlavite]

Microsoft BLOWS they will never release open source stuff like this.

[retrospects]

they are ghosts, they are working soo hard and will prob. will never make it to the surface. :( sad day for these guys. this guy wants to drop kick bill gates in the head and replace this program with his heart!

[royalg2]

good job chris!

the bureauracy and politics of big companies is mind boggleing - if people only knew

[laundryday2]

that is cool

[amazingpotato]

This video seems to bring to light a lot of the problems with microsoft. If their own employees spend 6 years developing technology that their *OWN* company doesn't realize exists, it's no wonder it took them so long to push vista to market. I kinda feel sorry for this guy, like he wants to scream out "look at me".

[livingharmony]

yes, and the problem is this guy and other research needs to be paid better, and also put in charge of a staff who with helpers including those that can market this, instead of MS spending money on lawyers, their coffee bars, and all the money handed freely to those in third world cultures whose the of ideas have left them backwards.

[Coey87]

I wants that software.

[ELoney]

another great video, we thank you.

[KCampbell0420]

They need to make this open source code
