معرفی
Gaël Richard is a Professor at Télécom Paris specializing in machine learning and audio signal processing. He leads the Hi! Paris center, focusing on AI and data science applications. His research emphasizes hybrid interpretable AI for sound analysis, including projects like Hi-Audio funded by a €2.5M ERC Advanced Grant (2022). Key areas include machine listening, music source separation, and speech processing. Applications span autonomous vehicle acoustics and music technology. Notable contributions include neural audio compression (QINCODEC), diffusion models for music synthesis (Diff-TONE), and source separation techniques (Inverse Drum Machine).
Research & Awards
Recipient of the 2022 ERC Advanced Grant for the Hi-Audio project exploring hybrid AI models that integrate domain knowledge with neural networks. This approach reduces data requirements and enhances model interpretability. Active in audio-visual scene analysis and weakly-supervised learning systems.
Affiliations & Labs
Executive Director of Hi! Paris, a multidisciplinary lab advancing AI and data science for societal impact. Collaborates on projects like the HI-AUDIO online platform for distributed music data collection and the MAD-EEG EEG dataset for auditory attention decoding.
