mirdata
Python library for downloading, loading & working with MIR datasets.
Genís Plaja, PhD student
I am a PhD student at Music Technology Group, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, under the supervision of Prof. Xavier Serra and Dr. Marius Miron. My research topics of interest are Audio Signal Processing (ASP), Music Information Retrieval (MIR), and Machine and Deep Learning (ML & DL). Specifically, I work on vocal melody extraction, vocal source separation, and automatic melodic pattern discovery. I am also applying these problems on World traditional music repertoires to promote the cultural diversity in MIR. In that sense, I am leveraging recent technologies to address these problems using few or noisy data. I am also a musician in several bands, very passionate about hiking and travelling.
