Hi everyone, I\u2019m a PhD candidate in Communication researching modern sound technologies. My dissertation is a cultural history of audio datasets used in machine learning: I\u2019m interested in how sound is conceptualized, categorized, and organized within computational systems. I\u2019m currently looking to speak with people who have done audio labeling or annotation work for ML projects (academic, industry, or open-source). These interviews are part of an oral history component of my research. Specifically, I\u2019d love to hear about: – how particular sound categories were developed or negotiated, – how disagreements around classification were handled, and – how teams decided what counted as a \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cusable\u201d data point. If you\u2019ve been involved in building, maintaining, or labeling sound datasets – from environmental sounds to event ontologies – I\u2019d be very grateful to talk. Conversations are confidential, and I can share more details about the project and consent process if you\u2019re interested. You can DM me here Thanks so much for your time and for all the work that goes into shaping this fascinating field.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
