🧠 Research Interests

🎵 Symbolic Music Representation and Generation

Research on computational methods for representing and generating symbolic music, exploring how to effectively model musical structures and patterns using machine learning approaches.

🎙️ Speech and Audio

Research in speech and audio processing, including speech recognition, audio analysis, and sound generation using deep learning and signal processing techniques.

💫 Affective Computing

Research in emotion recognition and affective modeling to create more empathetic and responsive AI systems that can understand and respond to human emotions.

🔬 Research Experience

🎼 Symbolic Music Generation

✓ Achieved Progress

We have made significant advances in long-sequence symbolic music generation, developing novel methodologies that enable models to produce extended musical compositions while maintaining structural coherence and thematic consistency throughout the piece. Our work addresses the challenge of generating music that remains musically logical and aesthetically pleasing over longer time spans. Additionally, we have proposed efficient symbolic music representation schemes that strike an optimal balance between information preservation and computational efficiency, allowing for more effective training and inference in music generation systems.

🔄 Ongoing Research

Our current research focuses on three key directions. First, we are investigating controllable music generation methods that enable fine-grained manipulation of musical attributes including style, dynamics, articulation, and harmonic progression, allowing for more precise creative control over the generation process. Second, we are working on enhancing model robustness to ensure consistently high-quality outputs across diverse musical contexts, genres, and compositional scenarios. Third, we are exploring the exciting intersection of music generation and affective computing, developing systems that can recognize, interpret, and generate music with emotional expressiveness, ultimately creating AI systems capable of producing emotionally resonant and contextually appropriate musical content.

📚 Publications

Pianoroll-Event ICASSP 2026

Pianoroll-Event: A Novel Score Representation for Symbolic Music

ICASSP 2026 (Under Review) Co-first Author (Ranked 2nd)

Proposed a novel Pianoroll-Event representation that converts Pianoroll into event sequences for efficient compression while ensuring lossless information. This method significantly reduces sequence length and improves generation quality. Responsible for core encoding design, main paper writing, and critical code implementation.

Anchored Cyclic Generation AAAI 2026

Anchored Cyclic Generation: A Paradigm for Long-Sequence Symbolic Music Generation

AAAI 2026 (Under Review) Fourth Author

Proposed the Anchored Cyclic Generation paradigm with anchor features to dynamically correct generation and mitigate error accumulation in long-sequence modeling. Constructed a hierarchical anchoring framework using global sketch and local refinement strategies. Responsible for algorithm analysis, method section writing, and model experiments.
