Description

Overall area of research is machine learning in the domain of music. Specific research areas (past and present) include:

  • Measuring music similarity and recommending music (Here is a small demo
  • Music sequence generation. (Here are some examples using LSTM recurrent neural networks)
  • Expression: Realistic Performance Timing and Dynamics
  • Tracking: Finding Beat and Tempo in a Musical Performance
  • Synchronization: Playing with Musicians in Real Time from the SITM project; see below)

For more information, see my publications list, my CV and my research statement. (Note my publications list is not sorted by publication type but the publications in my CV are sorted.)
