Our new paper on theme-based music generation is out! A theme retrieval NN that extracts themes from training data + a theme-conditioned seq2seq Transformer that learns to repeat a theme (with variations) in its generation result. Tested on pop piano music. Ian (Yi-Jen) Shih, Frank Zalkow

Excited our paper "Evaluating Speech–Phoneme Alignment and Its Impact on Neural Text-To-Speech Synthesis" was accepted at #ICASSP2023. My first publication since shifting my main focus from music retrieval to speech synthesis. Kudos to my collaborators! audiolabs-erlangen.de/resources/NLUI…
