THE DISSERTATION BLOG

Welcome to my dissertation blog! This short series will serve as a way to organize my thoughts around the experiments I’ve run on a collection of neural audio models, as part of my dissertation research. I hope this is useful for other folks who are also curious about what’s going on inside these models. Thanks in advance for reading!

Post 0: What Kind of Brain Lives Inside A Neural Audio Model?

The figure below shows three representations of the same sound wave: a brief prose description, a spectrogram, and a sequence of numbers. The prose describes a chord sequence, a description of its writer’s perceptual experience of the sound wave. The spectrogram shows how acoustic energy in the sound wave is distributed across frequencies over time. Both are human-legible representations of music, each offering its own strategy for recovering semantic structures from a sound
