C4DM at QMUL

This is what we do: youtube.com/watch?v=Rcbs4N… - an excellent video intro to the wonderful researchers of @c4dm. @QMEECS @QMUL #research

We released the 𝐓𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐓 𝐀𝐅𝐱 dataset. The largest collection of dry/wet pairs for audio effects research. github.com/mcomunita/tone…

We open-sourced NablAFx. A Framework for differentiable black-box and gray-box audio effects modeling. Nabla (∇) + Audio Effects (AFx) = NablAFx [∇f(x)] 📜: arxiv.org/abs/2502.11668 💻: github.com/mcomunita/nabl…

Very excited to share our latest work, the GigaMIDI dataset with > 1.4M files, published at #TISMIR @ISMIRConf 🤘 It was a huge pleasure to collaborate with Keon Lee, Jeff Ens @monobor @matdiffusion @Sadkins65 on this one Check it out transactions.ismir.net/articles/10.53…

From the 25th February to 4th March 2025, two C4DM researchers will participate at the 39th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI 2025). More info at: c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/news/2025-02-0…

Awesome DMRN @c4dm @CDT_AI_Music workshop today, with a great keynote by titan @deeplearnmusic and looooads of research around guitar 🤘🎸

DMRN+19 workshop registration has opened! Keynote speakers: Stefan Lattner (Research Leader at Sony CSL Paris): Models of Musical Signals: Representation, Learning & Generation @deeplearnmusic qmul.ac.uk/dmrn/dmrn19/

A really great opportunity for AI specialists outside the UK to work more closely with a UK expert. Deadline is 12 December, so please hurry. If you are in AI and Music, then @c4dm @QMEECS would be super happy to welcome you.

Next Tuesday, 3/12 at 2pm, we will host a seminar by Manvi Agarwal @ManviTweeteth on 'Fast Structure-informed Positional Encoding for Music Generation'. More info at: c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/news/2024-03-1…

My PhD Thesis "Improving Controllability and Editability for Pretrained Text-to-Music Generation Models" is released! ✨The thesis also includes a literature review of current control methods for text-to-music models (by July 2024). arxiv.org/abs/2411.12641

It's a wrap! We say goodbye to San Francisco. Thank you for an amazing @ISMIRConf Congratulations to @Ilaria__Manco et al. and @csteinmetz1 et al. for the two best paper awards! See you next year in Korea for #ismir2025

In session 6 we had presentations from @Ilaria__Manco (best paper nominee, w/ @emmanouilb @elio_elioo) and @yannisbilly 🎵

We bring progressive metal madness to @ISMIRConf 🤘 really glad 'Between the AI and Me' was accepted and we were able to present our work to this titanic community @btbamofficial

This morning at @ISMIRConf we had presentations by @csteinmetz1 (best paper nominee, w/ @marcomunita) and @jackjamesloth (@umpedronosapato @matdiffusion)🤘 join the poster session for some audio fx discussions and progressive metal listening

During session 4 at @ISMIRConf we presented x papers covering a wide range of MIR tasks 🎵 join us for some discussions at the poster section! @HuanZha80395890 @sai_soum_ @csteinmetz1 @Juj_Guinot @nicolasguozixun @xavriley @drooby_doo

Session 3 starting with work carried out by @marcomunita on efficient audio synthesis 🎵

In session two @drooby_doo presented MIDI-to-TAB for guitar tablature inference (w/ @xavriley @umpedronosapato) 🎸 join us at the posters!

Kicking off the first paper session at @ISMIRConf with presentations from @marco_ppasini and @vjosa_preniqi 🎤 come chat with the authors at the poster session!

The music in toy commercials might be shaping how children see themselves and the world! @PLOSONE study from @c4dm reveals that sound in toy ads isn’t just background noise — it’s actively reinforcing gender stereotypes. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

If you're part of the @ISMIRConf community, we are currently seeking feedback on a Code of Ethics draft! If you have 5/10min, here's a link to the survey: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… 🤘

@ISMIRConf is approaching and we are very glad to announce that we will have 17 academic papers from our group, as well as Tutorials, MIREX tasks, TISMIR presentations, and Satellite Events! For a complete list, please see: c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/news/2024-10-2…
