Learning Interpretable Representations for Controllable Deep Music Generation
Abstract: Recently, the focus on enhancing control over generative AI has grown significantly. In this talk, I will introduce several approaches to enhance controllability through interpretable model design. I will begin by discussing compositional style transfer and representation disentanglement in monophonic, polyphonic, and cross-modality scenarios. Next, I will present a whole-song generation approach that captures long-term music structure via a compositional hierarchy. Throughout the talk, I will showcase demos that illustrate applications of these models for possibilities of human-machine music co-creation.
