Ever wanted to easily edit individual sounds in a complex audio scene—like removing a cough or making a doorbell louder? New paper - Recomposer(arxiv.org/abs/2509.05256) from our Sound Understanding team introduces a powerful way to do just that. Huge congrats to all the authors 🎉 #AudioEditing

Recomposer: Event-roll-guided generative audio editing
Editing complex real-world sound scenes is difficult because individual sound sources overlap in time. Generative models can fill-in missing or corrupted details based on their strong prior understand...

TIL that there's a Gemini @gradio-hf.bsky.social library that lets you automatically build Python chat bots and web apps with just a few lines of code, then (optionally) deploy them as apps or in @huggingface.bsky.social Spaces. ✨🙌 Amazing work, @_akhaliq!! 🔗 github.com/AK391/gemini...
