Juhan Nam, "My Journey Toward Musically Intelligent Machines"
Date:
Fri, 11/15/2024 - 3:30pm - 5:00pm
Location:
CCRMA Classroom [Knoll 217] (ZOOM Link Below)
Event Type:
Guest Lecture 
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.

Concepts and Control: Understanding Creativity in Deep Music Generation
Date:
Fri, 11/15/2024 - 2:30pm - 3:30pm
Location:
CCRMA Classroom [Knoll 217] (ZOOM Link Below)
Event Type:
DSP Seminar 
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.
