What roles do computers play in music?
In a world in which artificial intelligence is taking up an ever-growing part of our daily lives (and our media coverage),
how does AI get to shape our musical culture?
What does it mean for an AI algorithm to “compose” music?
How far is the day when robots (be they physical or virtual) composing and performing music wouldn’t be a novelty, or rather,
an oddity, but a normal part of our existence?
What does music created by robots even sound like?
In this talk, we’ll discuss all of these topics and more, and perhaps, in the process, learn something new about AI, and about music.
We’ll hear from Elad Liebman, an assistant professor of instruction at the Univ. of Texas at Austin and a staff data scientist at SparkCognition
working primarily on problems relating to high dimensional modeling problems, online adaptation, and autonomous decision-making.
Elad received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin. His dissertation focused on learning preferences through
interaction and modeling the effect of background information on human decision-making.
His current research is focused on machine learning and its application in complex process modeling, sequential decision-making, autonomous multiagent systems,
and predictive analytics, as well as online content recommendation.
Join us to discuss all of these topics, with interesting company, a fascinating lecture, and drinks!
This event is in partnership with ScienceAbroad.
The event will be in English. The location will be provided after registration.
