Title: Speech and Music AI: Connecting the Dots of AI and Human Potential
Abstract: Speech and music are traditionally studied by different research communities. In this talk, I will share some insights from my journey of connecting the dots of speech, music, AI and neuroscience for real world applications in boosting human health and potential. This decade-long exploration has shaped my signature research – Sound and Music Computing for Human Health and Potential (SMC4HHP).
