Concepts and Control: Understanding Creativity in Deep Music Generation
Abstract: Recently, generative AI has achieved impressive results in music generation. Yet, the challenge remains: how can these models be meaningfully applied in real-world music creation, for both professional and amateur musicians? We argue that what’s missing is an interpretable generative architecture—one that captures music concepts and their relations, which can be so finely nuanced that they defy straightforward description. In this talk, I will explore various approaches to creating such an architecture, demonstrating how it enhances control and interaction in music generation.

Gerald Schuller: Perceptual and higher-level loss and distance functions for machine learning in audio and acoustics
Prof. Gerald Schuller will report on the potential transformative role of perceptual loss functions and distance metrics in enhancing audio and acoustic machine learning models, and their applications. He will cover theoretical foundations of perceptual loss functions, which mimic human auditory perception, and also more abstract, higher-level representations, and explore how these functions, along with novel distance metrics, significantly improve the performance of audio processing tasks. Applications involving loss functions for room impulse responses, audio similarity, and audio representations for cochlear implants will be discussed.
Prof. Marina Bosi will be hosting his visit.
