Current Activities
I started my PhD research in music similarity and organization as part of OMRAS2 in January 2007. I am currently working in the Goldsmiths Digital Studios research group, under the supervision of Dr. Micheal Casey and Dr. Christophe Rhodes.
Research Interests
- bridging the semantic gap between social networks and content based retrieval systems
- Music recommenders
- Metadata informed dynamics effects processing
- Playlist generation/playback and content aware mixing (autoDJ)
- Song phrase segmentation
- Mixed Playlist (think DJ set, pod cast, etc.) segmentation (unmixing)
