NeuralNote: An Audio-to-MIDI Plugin Using Machine Learning
Abstract: NeuralNote is an open-source audio-to-MIDI VST/AU plugin that uses machine learning for accurate audio-to-MIDI transcription. This talk will begin with an in-depth look at BasicPitch, the machine learning model from Spotify that powers NeuralNote. We will explore its internal workings and how it processes audio to generate MIDI data. Next, we will cover the integration of BasicPitch into the NeuralNote plugin, implemented in C++ using the JUCE framework. We will discuss the challenges of incorporating neural network inference in audio plugins, focusing on real-time processing, thread safety, and performance. A comparison of the ONNXRuntime and RTNeural libraries will highlight the options for neural network integration in this domain.

Quote from the article:
ARTFUL DESIGN — A new (comic) book by Ge Wang!
What is the nature of design, and the meaning it holds in human life? What does it mean to design well -- to design ethically? How can the shaping of technology reflect our values as human beings? These are the questions addressed in Ge Wang's new book, ARTFUL DESIGN (check it out: https://artful.design/).
Technology that Knows What You're Feeling: TED2018 Talk Featuring Dr. Poppy Crum
What happens when technology knows more about us than we do? Poppy Crum studies how we express emotions -- and she suggests the end of the poker face is near, as new tech makes it easy to see the signals that give away how we're feeling. In a talk and demo, she shows how "empathetic technology" can read physical signals like body temperature and the chemical composition of our breath to inform on our emotional state. For better or for worse. "If we recognize the power of becoming technological empaths, we get this opportunity where technology can help us bridge the emotional and cognitive divide," Crum says.
