Let us hear your AI-assisted bangers 🤘

So many great works 🤘

An exciting novel contribution by our student @jinhua-liang.bsky.social, supervised by @emmanouilb.bsky.social

Thanks! I was ambivalent because I confess I didn't love the new stuff - I think it's great for the band that Manuel Gagneux let everyone write on the new album, very democratic, but 😬

How was it? Sad to miss it, specially since they seem to have played so much of the old stuff

guess-the-guitar-player-or-the-band

so sorry for the delay 🙇‍♀️ you actually nailed it 100%

oooops, good shout - let me get on that 🎸

Hopefully yes 🤞you?

Good luck to all the titans submitting to #ISMIR2025 🤘excited to see what this year's edition will bring 🎸

DiffRhythm - a Hugging Face Space by ASLP-lab Blazingly Fast and Embarrassingly Simple Song Generation

I love how DiffRhythm keeps changing time signatures à la Dream Theater (ie, seemingly random). The vocals are in a quite deep uncanny valley, but the music sounds super good. And the audio prompting works really well! And all open source! Great job, titans <3 huggingface.co/spaces/ASLP-...

They're out 🤘

Dataset papers are usually easy to follow, and they are at the very beginning of every AI endeavour!

a brilliant idea haha

History of Diffusion - Jascha Sohl-Dickstein YouTube video by Bain Capital Ventures

Great interview with @jascha.sohldickstein.com about diffusion models! This is the first in a series: similar interviews with Yang Song and yours truly will follow soon.

(One of these is not like the others -- both of them basically invented the field, and I occasionally write a blog post 🥲)

Is it that good? 👀 I'm curious to try it out!

The GigaMIDI Dataset with Features for Expressive Music Performance Detection | Transactions of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval The Transactions of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval publishes novel scientific research in the field of music information retrieval (MIR), an interdisciplinary research area concerned with processing, analysing, organising and accessing music information. We welcome submissions from a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, musicology, cognitive science, library & information science and electrical engineering.TISMIR was established to complement the widely cited ISMIR conference proceedings and provide a vehicle for the dissemination of the highest quality and most substantial scientific research in MIR. TISMIR retains the Open Access model of the ISMIR Conference proceedings, providing rapid access, free of charge, to all journal content. In order to encourage reproducibility of the published research papers, we provide facilities for archiving the software and data used in the research. To avoid excessive cost to the authors or their institutions, TISMIR is published in electronic-only format.

Very excited to share our latest work, the GigaMIDI dataset with > 1.4M files, published at #TISMIR 🤘 It was a huge pleasure to collaborate with such a team of titans
