Today's world is filled not only with cameras, but also with microphones, listening to us -- and to the environment we live in. This talk presents results and lessons learned from my research on extracting information from environmental audio and video data using scalable acoustic recognition methods. The research I will present is mainly focused on multimedia retrieval, but the underlying environmental audio recognition methods are being applied to robotics, autonomous vehicles, and cell phones.
