And I have been awarded with one of the AI Grants given by Nat Friedman for creating a dataset of sounds from Freesound and using it in my research. The AI grants are an initiative of Nat Friedman, Cofounder/CEO of Xamarin, to support open-source AI projects. The project I proposed is part of an initiative of the MTG to promote the use of Freesound.org for research. The goal is to create a large dataset of sounds, following the same principles as Imagenet – in order to make audio AI more accessible to everyone. The project will contribute in developing an infrastructure to organize a crowdsource tool to convert Freesound into a research dataset. The following video presents the aforementioned project:
