MPAI Publishes a New Version of ContextAudio and a New Standard for Data Qualifiers

Geneva, Switzerland, August 24, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Moving Picture, Audio and Data Coding by Artificial Intelligence – the international, non-profit, and unaffiliated organisation developing AI-based data coding standards – has concluded its 47th General Assembly (MPAI-47) by ap-proving for publication the Context-based Audio Enhancement (MPAI-CAE) V2.2 standard and the new Data Types, Formats, and Attributes (MPAI-TFA) V1.0 standard for Community Comments. The new versions are released using the new full web-based publication method.

Technical Specification: Context-based Audio Enhancement (MPAI-CAE) V2-2 (https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-cae/usc/v2-2/) improves the user experience for different audio-related applications, such as entertainment, restoration, and communication in a variety of different contexts such as in the home, in the office, and in the studio. V2.2 extends the capabilities of several data formats used across MPAI standard.

Technical Specification: Data Types, Formats, and Attributes (MPAI-TFA) V1.0 (https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-tfa/v1-0/) specifies Qualifiers – a Data Type containing Sub-Types, Formats, and Attributes – associated to “media” Data Types – currently Text, Speech, Audio, and Visual – that facilitate-enable the operation of an AI Module receiving a Data Type instance.

The capabilities of the standards will be presented online on August 24 at 16:00 UTC for MPAI-CAE V2.2 and August 27 at T14:00 UTC for MPAI-TFA). To attend, please register at https://tinyurl.com/2wj8e4bn for MPAI-CAE V2.2 and at https://tinyurl.com/3p8j74st for MPAI-TFA V1.0.

MPAI is continuing its work plan that involving the following activities:

1. AI Framework (MPAI-AIF https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-aif/): reference software, conformance testing, and application are-as.
2. AI for Health (MPAI-AIH https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-aih/): reference model and technologies for a system enabling clients to improve models processing health data and federated learning to share the training.
3. Context-based Audio Enhancement (CAE-DC https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-cae/): new projects.
4. Connected Autonomous Vehicle (MPAI-CAV https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-cav/): Functional Requirements of CAV architecture.
5. Compression and Understanding of Industrial Data (MPAI-CUI https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-cui/): preparation for extension of existing standard.
6. End-to-End Video Coding (MPAI-EEV https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-eev/): video coding using AI-based End-to-End Video coding.
7. AI-Enhanced Video Coding (MPAI-EVC https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-evc/). video coding with AI tools added to existing tools.8. Governance of the MPAI Ecosystem (MPAI-GME https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-gme/): working on version 2.0 of the Specification.
9. Human and Machine Communication (MPAI-HMC https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-hmc/): model and technologies enabling a human or a machine to communicate with a machine or a human in a different cultural environment.
10. Multimodal Conversation (MPAI-MMC https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-mmc/): reference software, drafting conformance testing, and new areas.
11. MPAI Metaverse Model (MPAI-MMM https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-mmm/): reference software and metaverse technologies requiring standards.
12. Neural Network Watermarking (MPAI-NNW https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-nnw/): reference software for enhanced applications.
13. Object and Scene Description (MPAI-OSD https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-osd/): finalising V1.2 and developing reference software, conformance testing and new areas for digital humans.
14. Portable Avatar Format (MPAI-PAF https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-ara/): reference software, conformance testing and new areas.
15. AI Module Profiles (MPAI-PRF https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-prf/): to specify which features an AI Module supports.
16. Server-based Predictive Multiplayer Gaming (MPAI-SPG https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-spg/): technical report on mitigation of data loss and cheating.
17. Data Types, Formats, and Attributes (MPAI-TFA https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-tfa/): extending he standard to data types used by other MPAI standards.
18. XR Venues (MPAI-XRV https://mpai.community/standards/mpai-xrv/): preparation for the development of the standard.
