Our team at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) is looking for an RA for 6 months to help develop nnAudio. You will be joining our team in music/audio/vision AI supervised by Prof. Dorien Herremans. More information on the music/audio team at dorienherremans.com/team. You will be working on the PyTorch audio processing tool nnAudio developed by Cheuk Kin Wai at our lab.

Congrats to Rui Guo, who was an intern at AMAAI Lab, SUTD, published a paper on 'A variational autoencoder for music generation controlled by tonal tension', which will be presented next week at 'The 2020 Joint Conference on AI Music Creativity'.

Your goal is to develop novel approaches to neural reasoning starting from textually defined tasks in 50% of his/her time and to work on multimodal sarcasm detection in the other 50% time. You will be working with Prof. Alex Binder, Prof. Soujanya Poria, and Prof. Dorien Herremans.

The first task on neural reasoning will include work packages such as:

Congratulations to Raven for publishing 'nnAudio: An on-the-fly GPU Audio to Spectrogram Conversion Toolbox Using 1D Convolutional Neural Networks', in IEEE Access. nnAudio allows you to calculate spectrograms (linear, log, Mel, CQT) on-the-fly as a layer in PyTorch. This makes the spectrograms finetunable to your task! nnAudio is easy to install with pip, see instructions at https://github.com/KinWaiCheuk/nnAudio

Abigail Leon has successfully defended her PhD today with main supervisor Prof. Yuen Chau and myself as co-supervisor. Abigail has successfully explored how deep learning techniques can be used to denoise en demodulate complex underwater acoustic communication signals, and has performed some sea-trials to gather data for this. Since the PhD is under an NDA with Thales, we cannot post it, however, check out some of Abigail's papers here (more to come after the review process ends).

We are looking for a motivated wizard in neural networks to research and develop sequential time series and NLP models for finance in PyTorch to join our team at SUTD. Some key skills required:

Looking for a tool to extract spectrograms on the fly, integrated as a layer in PyTorch? Look no further than nnAudio, a toolbox developed by PhD student Raven (Cheuk Kin Wai): https://github.com/KinWaiCheuk/nnAudio

nnAudio is available in pip (pip install nnaudio), full documentation available on the github page. Also check out our dedicated paper:

SUTD's AMAAI lab is organizing online seminars of (worldwide) graduate students active in Music Information Retrieval (MIR), or more generally music/audio and AI. The aim is to connect different labs working on similar topics and enable international collaboration. Participating universities include SUTD, QMUL,...

The Webinars will be organized on Wednesdays at 4pm Singapore time (9am UK time - 10am EU time).
