LIVE REAL-TIME MACHINE LEARNING
seminar led by Dan Stowell
This seminar will explore machine listening and machine learning in
SuperCollider, applied in real time to perform intelligent signal
processing on live audio streams. We will specifically focus on
server-based processing of sound streams (i.e. not on “offline” machine
learning or general compositional aspects). We will study
classification, clustering and regression using built-in analysis tools
(plus standard sc3-plugins and quarks), covering important
machine-learning techniques such as Self-Organising Maps, K-Means,
K-Nearest Neighbours, Sparse Representations and more.
Structure:
Session #01:
- Introduction to machine listening and machine learning
- Real-time live processing issues
- Revision of SuperCollider extensions; how to use third party code
Session #02:
- Exploring live data
- Machine listening features, pros and cons
- Clustering
- Classification
Session #03
- More classification
- Regression
- Sparse representations
- Practical considerations: latency, accuracy, noise
Level: intermediate (some basic knowledge of SuperCollider and sound
synthesis is assumed)
Instructor: Dan Stowell [ http://mcld.co.uk ]
Dan Stowell (MCLD) is a musician, programmer, and scientist. In 2010 he
obtained a PhD in Machine Learning and Digital Music at Queen Mary
University of London, where he is now currently working as a
postdoctoral researcher in the Centre for Digital Music. Dan has been
developing techniques to use voice sounds such as beatboxing to control
electronic instruments. In his musical practice, he combines live-coding
with beatboxing – both solo and as part of the duo Spoonfight – and also
produces installation work as part of C4DM Presents. He’s currently also
one of the lead SuperCollider developers.
