Juhan Nam, "My Journey Toward Musically Intelligent Machines"
Date:Fri, 11/15/2024 - 3:30pm - 5:00pmLocation:CCRMA Classroom [Knoll 217] (ZOOM Link Below)Event Type:Guest LectureAbstract
Creating intelligent machines that can listen to, play, and even making music has been a longstanding human ambition. Recent advancements in AI, especially through deep learning, have brought us closer to realizing this vision. In this talk, I will share my personal journey in developing musically intelligent machines, beginning with my PhD research on music representation learning during the early days of deep learning, and continuing with my collaborative work with students over the past decade at KAIST. Key topics will include bridging music audio with language, human-AI music ensemble performances, and neural audio processing.
