| Audio Signal Processing | Bernardini | Unsupervised Speech Quality Estimation (in collaboration with Fraunhofer IIS, Erlangen) | Full thesis | Quantifying the quality of a speech signal is a challenging and complex problem due to the sophisticated structure of speech signals and the subjective nature of speech quality, influenced by cognitive factors. This challenge increases in the absence of a clean reference signal, a scenario of significant practical relevance. Recently, self-supervised and non-intrusive audio quality measures have gained popularity, driven by the impressive performance of self-supervised methods in tasks such as automatic speech recognition. This thesis aims to explore the application of self-supervised methods for speech signal quality estimation. Specifically, it involves obtaining subjective listening scores and validating the performance of non-intrusive speech quality measures using the acquired scores. These scores will be utilized to develop a self-supervised speech quality metric based on compressed latent space representations of the speech signal. The student undertaking this research is expected to have a foundational understanding of speech and audio signal processing, as well as deep learning. Practical skills required include proficiency in Python, along with experience in using the numpy and PyTorch libraries.

Parametric Model Order Reduction (PMOR) is applied to significantly reduce the computational time of the model. During the PMOR procedure, minor simplifications to the model need to be undertaken, leading to deviations of the reduced-order model from the original model. This thesis aims to enhance the reduced-order model via optimization and/or data-driven methods to compensate for the error term resulting from the simplifications in the reduced-order model.

| Musical Acoustics | Gonzalez, Antonacci | Role of f-hole design in stress distribution and radiation of the violin | Long thesis | The role of the f-holes in violins is to let the sound vibrations leave the body of the instrument and reach the audience. However, cutting holes in the top plate weakens it. By cutting curves and circles, the instrument maker avoids creating the stress concentrations associated with sharp corners. The aim of this thesis is to study the behaviour of a violin for different f-hole designs/locations. Comsol experience needed. |
| Musical Acoustics | Gonzalez, Malvermi, Antonacci | Effect of tailpiece height in the acoustic response of a violin | Long thesis | Varying the height of the tailpiece is one of the ways luthiers can control the sound production of the violin. By changing the angle of the strings, there is a modification in the effective pressure that the bridge, and consequently the violin top plate, feels. This compression of the violin is believed to affect the sound production of the instrument. This thesis aims to study, by means of simulations, the effect the net static force in the bridge has in the dynamics of the instrument. If time allows the thesis could also include experimental measurements with the help of Amorim fine violins. |

Their design takes from the parlour guitar in terms of bracing, from the archtop in its shape and floating bridge, and from the mandolin in its bent top plate. The aim of this thesis is to study, by means of simulations, different bracing patterns that could inform a new way of crafting these instruments.

Simulated geometries will be transformed into transfer matrices to create a dataset for training a neural network. The objective is to develop a predictive model capable of estimating sound behavior without explicit FEM simulations, thus offering a more efficient and accessible method for instrument design and optimization. The study aims to contribute to the field of music and acoustic engineering by reducing computational costs and time associated with traditional simulation methods. |

| Music Informatics/Multimedia Forensics/Generative Models | Comanducci | Music Deepfake Detection | Full thesis | Deep learning-based music generation has been recently revolutionized by the introduction of Text-To-Music models. These models are characterized by being good in terms of performance and also simple to use, lowering the technical proficiency needed to successfully interact with them. This combination of factors has made them extremely appetible to the general public and of interest by private industries. In Fact several commercial TTMs have been proposed, which recently have been sued by major record companies and have consecutively admitted to copyright infringement, by training their respective models also using unlicensed music. As both the capabilities and the commercial interest of these models grow it is becoming increasingly necessary to try to develop forensic approaches to detect and analyze music generated via TTMs. In this thesis we aim at exploring the problem of: can we detect if some music is AI-generated or not?

| Audio Signal Processing | Miotello, Pezzoli | Neural Processes for Directivity Interpolation of Sound Sources | Full thesis | The directivity of a sound source refers to how it radiates energy in different directions, an inherent characteristic critical for accurate acoustic modeling and simulation. Directivity measurements often demand large-scale recording setups, employing numerous microphones arranged around the sound source. To mitigate these practical challenges, spatial interpolation methods aim to reconstruct unmeasured regions of the sound field from a reduced set of sensors. This thesis proposes a novel approach to directivity interpolation using neural processes, a class of deep learning models designed for data-efficient function approximation and interpolation.

Classical beamforming filter design approaches, however, face limitations due to their inherent linearity constraints. To address these constraints, this thesis investigates a neural network-based approach to differential beamforming filter design, leveraging the inherent nonlinear capabilities of neural networks, advancing the efficacy of differential arrays in acoustic applications.
