Interests
My research interests are in the fields of music informatics (music information retrieval), artificial intelligence, computer music, music signal processing, digital audio and music cognition. In recent years I have mainly worked on high-level music signal analysis, computational modelling of musical knowledge, and the study of musical performance, rhythm, harmony and intonation. For example, I have worked on note and chord transcription, beat tracking, multimodal music alignment, and singing intonation, using signal processing approaches, probabilistic models, and deep learning.Publications
