Research Interests
I like love AI and music. But I am way more fascinated by AI as a creative collaborator in music production rather than just using it as an automated generator, that skips the whole process of making music, which is the most fun part for me!
Here are some of the research areas I am currently exploring:
Audio Generation
Exploring diffusion models, LLMs, and hybrid approaches for high-quality sound generation such as Diffusion Transformers (DiTs).
Neural Audio Codecs
Development of efficient tokenization strategies for representing audio in latent space using VAEs, GANs and Vector Quantization approaches.
MIDI Generation
1st. writers Block exists 2nd.MIDI is the language of music production.
Improving context based MIDI generation would significantly help music producers.
State-of-the-art AI research
AI is evolving rapidly across generative models, reinforcement learning, and agent-based frameworks. I continuously explore new research and models to stay current with these advancements.
