In order to bring the music research community in Singapore together, the Music Cognition group at IHPC, A*STAR under the lead of Dr. Kat Agres, organized the first Singaporean Music Research Symposium on Feb. 2nd. With over 70 participants, the day was a true success.

I gave a talk on 'Application of music and AI' (download slides here) and we had a number of posters from SUTD students as well: Lin Kin Wah Edward presented a poster on ‘Design of a Convolutional Neural Network for separating Singing Voice from Monaural Pop Music’ and Tong Hui Kang, Zheng Xingjian, Foo Lin Geng presented a poster on ‘Music education game for ukulele using rudimentary polyphonic note detection’.
