Who else struggles to keep up with the latest papers in AI Music/Speech? Do you care at all? If so, what challenges are you currently facing? Negative responses are welcome too!

I used to keep up manually, but after years of doing this, I became fed up with the process. So, a couple of years ago, I built an automatic solution that provides me with a detailed summary of one paper a day. I can bookmark the papers I find interesting and study them later.

Right now, the app is scrappy, but I thought others might be interested in using it. I'd like to gauge if there’s enough interest to turn this solution into a product. If you're interested, it would be great to chat and get more feedback over a Zoom call.

Thank you!

πŸŽΆπŸ€– The Generative Music AI Workshop in Barcelona started yesterday! πŸš€ This workshop is the culmination of the Generative Music AI Course, and follows the 22 videos I published over the last month. The workshop is an amazing collaboration with the Music Technology Group at University Pompeu Fabra.

20 enthusiastic technologists and 10 musicians will collaborate for a week.

The goal is to bridge the gap between musicians 🎸 and engineers πŸ’». Each team will come up with a creative music piece that leverages AI.

I can’t tell you how much of a blast this has been so far! πŸ˜„

I feel overjoyed. This event is special to me. After many online projects, it’s the first time I'm organising an in-person event with The Sound of AI community.

Yesterday, participants accomplished a lot. They:

- Networked 🀝
- Had a speed dating session πŸ’‘
- Formed teams πŸ™Œ
- Came up with exciting project ideas πŸ’‘

Today, they’re already hard at work on their projects. πŸ› οΈπŸŽ΅

I’m really looking forward to seeing what they’ll come up with! 🀩

Would you be interested in a short live course (Zoom) where I teach all the secrets and tricks I’ve developed during my career leading AI teams? πŸ§ πŸ’‘

You get 10+ years of my distilled experience downloaded into your brain, so you won't make the same mistakes I made. πŸš€

You interact with me, and get to ask all the questions you have. πŸ—£οΈ

My ultimate goal is to transform you into an #AI wizard, ready to plan, lead, and execute any AI project.

The focus isn't technology - there are too many valid courses about that already, I already published numerous myself.

Rather, I want to teach you all of those other things that you'll only learn in the trenches, hitting a wall 100 times.

By the end of the course you’ll be able to:

πŸ” Manage an AI project end-to-end
🌱 Build a kick-ass team, cultivating an environment where team members can thrive
πŸ‘©β€πŸ’Ό Lead an AI team
βš–οΈ Strike the perfect balance between R&D and engineering
πŸ› οΈ Build robust, maintainable, and scalable AI systems

What else would you like to see covered?

Let me know πŸ‘‡

It's been a while, hasn't it? Over the last 12 weeks, I've been super busy running The Sound of AI Accelerator and haven't had time to work on new videos. Now that it's all said and done with the startup accelerator, I'll go back to the lab and crunch new videos. I promise :D

Talking about The Sound of AI Accelerator, we had Demo Day on June 30. I've just published the recording of the session. Check it out if you're interested in seeing what we've been cooking up during all this time.

Will you be presenting at the next Demo Day?
