In November, I had the chance to attend ISMIR2021 (International Society of Music Information Retrieval Conference), the most important conference in AI Music.

If you’re into AI Music, you should always keep an eye on this conference.

This year’s iteration was particularly interesting, because of the breadth of the topics covered, from music cover detection, to music representations, from generative music, to music psychology experiments.

In this video, I share an overview of the 8 papers I liked the most.
