Welcome

The 18th International Workshop on Acoustic Signal Enhancement (IWAENC 2024) will be held in the Music House (Musikkens Hus) in Aalborg, Denmark from Sept. 9 – 12, 2024. Since its first edition held in Berlin, Germany, in September 1989, it evolved into one of the leading workshops for theoretical and practical aspects related to speech and acoustic signal acquisition and processing. At its technical core, the three-day program offers keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations, and demonstrations.

Scope

This workshop focuses on new methods and systems for enhancing and processing speech and audio signals.  Applications include mobile and ambient communication, audio-visual conferencing systems, voice control systems, hearing devices, interactive TV, robot audition, smart acoustic environments, and emerging applications in audio and acoustic signal processing.
