Pattern recognition of non-speech audio

摘要

August 1996: in a panel session at the 13th National Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-96), Rodney A. Brooks (noted Professor of Robotics at MIT) remarked that while automatic speech recognition was a highly active domain, there had been little work trying to build machines able to understand "non-speech sound cues". He went as far as naming this one of the biggest challenges faced by Artificial Intelligence.
