Mustango: Toward Controllable Text-to-Music Generation.

Excited to announce Mustango, a powerful multimodal Model for generating music from textual prompts. Mustango leverages a Latent Diffusion Model conditioned on textual prompts (encoded using Flan-T5) and various musical features. Try the demo! What makes it different from the rest?
-- greater controllability in the music generation.
-- trained on a large dataset generated using ChatGPT and musical manipulations.
-- superior performance over its predecessors as per the experts.
-- open source!

Video2Music: Suitable Music Generation from Videos using an Affective Multimodal Transformer model

We are happy to announce Video2Music, a novel AI-powered multimodal music generation framework called Video2Music. This framework uniquely uses video features as conditioning input to generate matching music using a Transformer architecture. By employing cutting-edge technology, our system aims to provide video creators with a seamless and efficient solution for generating tailor-made background music.

Time-series momentum portfolios with deep multi-task learning

Congratulations to Joel Ong on publishing our paper on using multi-task deep learning for porfolio construction in Expert Systems with Applications. The paper presents a new way to leverage time series momentum in a deep learning setting. Read a Twitter thread explaining the basics here.

AI and you - podcast

Excited to be featured on the latest 'AI and You - What is AI? How will it affect your life, your work, and your world?' podcast by Peter Scott from Human Cusp.

We're focusing on AI in music: What's the state of the art in AI music composition, how can human composers use it to their advantage, and what is the AI Song Contest? How do musical AIs surprise their creators and how are they like your grandmother trying to explain death metal?

ReconVAT presented in ACM Multimedia

Congrats to Kin Wa Cheuk for his published paper in the ACM Multimedia conference (A*) on 'ReconVAT: A Semi-Supervised Automatic Music Transcription Framework for Low-Resource Real-World Data'. If you are interested in training low-data music transcription models with semi-supervised learning, check out the full paper here, or access the preprint.

Paper published on our game for climate change (PEAR) in Sustainability

Over the last few years, we developed Project PEAR at SUTD Game Lab. Project PEAR is a geolocation based augmented reality game that is aimed at educating the player on climate change as well as influence their behaviours. We just published a study in Sustainability on the effectiveness of this game.

aiSTROM -- A roadmap for developing a successful AI strategy published in IEEE Access

Leading countless AI projects has left me very aware of all the challenges we may encounter during the development process. Therefore, I created a roadmap for AI managers and consultants to follow when creating an AI strategy, so they can better navigate the road to a successful AI strategy. The aiSTROM roadmap was just published in IEEE AccessRead the full article here.
