Machine Understanding of Sound and Music
The Soundbendor Lab is a research group in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Oregon State University. Our interdisciplinary research focuses on a computational understanding of sound and music using AI and deep-learning. We engage in a diverse set of projects in the areas of computational musicology, music affect, acoustic analysis, and bioacoustic understanding.
