Our lab (30 people) is working on music and acoustic signal processing as well as music information processing and speech recognition/synthesis/dialog. In my talk, I will demonstrate some results from our recent progress such as multi-F0 analysis, chord detection, rhythm recognition, music genre classification, automatic music composition, automatic accompaniment, harmonic-percussive sound separation, tempo/pitch conversion, music note manipulation, etc.
