Development of a Deep Neural Network for Speeding Up a Model of Loudness for Time-Varying Sounds
Trends in Hearing, 2020 The “time-varying loudness” (TVL) model of Glasberg and Moore calculates “instantaneous loudness” every 1 ms, and this is used to generate predictions of short-term loudness, the loudness of a short segment of sound, such as a word in a sentence, and of ...
