Leonard writes audio fingerprinting programmes to detect and capture the signature of a piece of sound that differentiates it from other sounds. This has applications for social media live streaming, short videos and social networking services.
“The rigour of mathematics training has fresh relevance in a time when Internet-enabled social communities are growing. Trending music causes many duplicates of audio to be uploaded, and which slows down processing. My work in detecting these duplicates speeds up subsequent tasks, hence enabling greater scalability.”
