Soundsensing is an IoT sensor and Machine Learning company based in Oslo, Norway. Our mission is to use sound as data source to help solve challenges in construction, manufacturing, offices and cities. Applications and current pilot customers include The Ministry of Justice; property management companies; Oslo Kommune, etc.
Our primary focus now is on monitoring of noise pollution - a real and current threat to our societies, environment and health. The WHO estimates that over 125 million Europeans are exposed to dangerously high traffic noise alone - and the extent of the problem is constantly growing, fueled by population growth, urbanisation, industrialisation, etc.
We help our customers to understand how much noise is being produced, at what time the noise occurs and what kind of noise it is. We do this by combining our custom developed sound-sensor hardware with data processing and Machine Learning (both on-sensor and in the cloud). The extracted information is then presented in a web-based application, and made available in an API.
Example: In-development web-site for one of our clients: oslo.soundsensing.no
This includes many interesting Data Science challenges, such as:
- Audio Classification. Identify what things are happening in a sound clip
- Event Detection. Find the precise times that a specific sound occurs
- Anomaly Detection. Identify when out-of-the-ordinary things occur
- Data Presentation. How to present information to user in an effective manner
As an intern with us you can work on:
