The @CadenzaChalleng I work on has just launched a novel series of ML/DSP music challenges. Tasks: listening over headphones and in the car. This is about improving the music for the millions of people who have hearing loss @SalfordScience https://cadenzachallenge.org/

Diff. between our simulated train and measured eval dataset:
* Talkers speaking differently.
* Real room acoustics.
* Directivity of interferers.
* Transducer noise.
* Lower order Ambisonics.

This dataset for ICASSP2023 @clarityprojuk is for this research Q: "Can speech enhancement systems trained on simulated data generalize to more ecologically-valid measurement data?" We're measuring with an ambisonic mic and live actors. #speech #enhancement
