About
I'm a master's student at the MALer Lab, Songang University under Professor Dasaem Jeong.
My research focuses on enabling machines to comprehend and process the diverse modalities of music. Music creation is not merely about assembling audio; it involves the intricate interplay of notation, performance, and sound design. Musicians achieve this by inscribing melodies onto scores and tweaking synthesizer knobs to shape intriguing timbres. My goal is to empower machines to understand these modalities and support musicians in their creative processes.
Currently, I am focusing on exploring Optical Music Recognition for both traditional and modern music notations, aiming to bridge the gap between musical heritage and technological advancement.
