Completed Andrew Ng’s Convolutional Neural Networks course — the third in his Deep Learning specialisation — with 100%.

Completed the first course in UCSD’s Big Data specialisation — Big Data Modeling and Management Systems — with a perfect score.

I’ve lately spent some time reading about Curriculum Learning and experimenting with the algorithms described in two of the papers in this domain Bengio, Y., Louradour, J., Collobert, R., & Weston, J. (2009, June).

Completed UCSD’s Introduction to Big Data on Coursera with 98.9%.

Completed Andrew Ng’s Improving Deep Neural Networks — the second in his Deep Learning specialisation — with 100%.

I’m on a break from Jukedeck until September 22nd, visiting Bangalore.

I’ll be participating in a panel discussion titled “Applying Musical Patterns in Generation” at the 2nd Conference on Computer Simulation of Musical Creativity (CSMC), September 11–13, 2017, in Milton Keynes, UK.

Completed Andrew Ng’s Structuring Machine Learning Projects with 96.7%.

I submitted my Tier 2 work visa application to the UK Home Office on May 9th, with a guaranteed 8-week processing time.

I passed the RSL Awards Rock School Grade 6 Electric Guitar exam on June 9th with distinction.

I like using the Pomodoro Technique to remind me to take short breaks while I’m immersed in work.

My PhD work on RNNs for musical sequence prediction got me interested in memory-augmented neural architectures.

From October 2016 to January 2017, Nina and I were in Hyderabad, India — and I worked remotely for Jukedeck throughout.

My lovely wife Nina and I recorded a little video where we play a cover of the song “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, to wish all our loved ones a merry Christmas.

This is an account of how I went from no encryption, to almost getting a paid SSL certificate to finally making and installing a free one on my domain.

While Nina presented on Music Therapy for Dementia at ARDSICON 2016 in Bangalore, I visited MusicMuni Labs — a startup founded by Gopala Koduri and Sankalp Gulati, mentored by Prof.

Jukedeck had a stall at the Science Museum’s Lates — a monthly adults-only after-hours event in London — and I joined colleagues Patrick, Lydia, Eliza, Matt, Katerina, and Gabriele to demonstrate the music generation technology.

The many contributions made during the past three decades to computer-assisted analysis and generation of music with the aid of Connectionist architectures can be seen to have occured in two waves, in parallel with developments in Connectionist research i…

Them Bones opens Dirt (1992) with one of the most distinctive riffs in the grunge canon — a lurching 7/8 groove that gives the whole song an unsettling, forward-leaning feel.

Vicarious opens 10,000 Days (2006) and was one of the first Tool songs I worked through properly.

My paper was accepted for oral presentation at the 28th International Joint Conference on Neural Networks in Killarney, Ireland.

I attended ISMIR 2014 in Taipei with two accepted papers: “Multiple Viewpoint Melodic Prediction with Fixed-Context Neural Networks” — Continuing earlier work on neural network–based note prediction using the multiple viewpoints representation, an event-b…

I was selected to attend the Machine Learning Summer School in Reykjavik (April 25–May 4, 2014) and received a travel grant.

I presented “A Distributed Model for Multiple Viewpoint Melodic Prediction” at ISMIR 2013 in Curitiba, Brazil.

Two papers accepted at MML 2013, co-located with the European Conference on Machine Learning.

I presented “A Neural Network for Predicting Musical Pitch” at City University London’s 3rd Annual Researchers’ Symposium — an event where doctoral students present their research to non-specialist audiences.

My abstract was accepted for the BCS 5th Doctoral Consortium and I presented on May 16, 2013.
