Title: Intelligent Audio Systems
Abstract: 
Intelligent Systems heavily rely on context-awareness. Context-awareness is the ability of a system or system component to gather information about its environment at any given time and adapt behaviors accordingly. Being able to detect and classify sounds and events from the surroundings is an essential aspect of context-awareness. An audio-based context recognition system using ensemble classifiers with wavelet feature extraction will be presented. The signal from the environment provides complementary information about context compared to other modalities.
