"How can we engineer systems capable of "cocktail party" listening? Human listeners are able to perceptually segregate one sound source from an acoustic mixture, such as a single voice from a mixture of other voices and music at a busy cocktail party. How can we engineer "machine listening" systems that achieve this perceptual feat? Albert Bregman′s book Auditory Scene Analysis, published in 1990, drew an analogy between the perception ..."

"Robert Cannell, McDonald's United States Supply Chain Director, publicly stated
his desire for animal identification on numerous occasions. In an issue of Farm
Week, he said that while McDonald's was sensitive to the fact that some beef
producers needed both time and money to implement the NAIS, McDonald's
would not wait for the USDA to act. According to Cannell, McDonald's would
actively seek contracts with beef suppliers who coul ..."
