About Me
I like AI and music, obviously. Currently, I'm focused on audio generation—exploring diffusion models, LLMs, and hybrid approaches like Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) for high-quality music generation.
I'm particularly interested in neural audio codecs and efficient tokenization strategies for representing audio in latent space using VAEs, GANs, and Vector Quantization for music. AI is evolving rapidly across generative models, reinforcement learning, and agentic trends. Therefore I continuously explore new research to stay current.
