<p>Open Source Research finished successfully in September 2022 after 2 years of work. We built a neural audio synthesiser controlled via speech commands as planned.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>You can try out the system installing it from this <a href="https://github.com/TheSoundOfAIOSR/project_common">GitHub repo</a> or play around with the generation module on this <a href="https://thesoundofaiosr-rg-sound-generation-app-y2fxsx.streamlit.app/">webapp</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>We published our research at the 3rd Conference on <a href="https://2022.aimusiccreativity.org/">AI Music Creativity 2022</a>. The title of the paper is “<a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7088416#.Y-IkAhzMJH5">From Words to Sound: Neural Audio Synthesis of Guitar Sounds with Timbral Descriptors</a>”.</p>

<p>Research coordinators are in charge of a Research Group (RG). A research group is a team of 5-8 contributors focused on one research deliverable. Research coordinators plan work and dedlines for a RG following the overall goals set by project leader and project managers. They act as scrum masters for a RG.</p>

Project steps
<a class="anchor" href="#project-steps">#</a>
</h2>
<p>The project will be organised in a number of steps. Some of the steps may run in parallel and feed back into each other.</p>
<p>It is worth noting that these are general indications, which may be re-adjusted based on the needs and specificity of the chosen research topic.</p>
<h4 id="1-preparation">
1. Preparation
<a class="anchor" href="#1-preparation">#</a>
</h4>
<p>In this phase, contributors will get familiar with the AI Music Creativity space, project managers will be identified, and contributors can apply as research coordinators and co-coordinators.</p>
<h4 id="2-topic-selection">
2. Topic selection
<a class="anchor" href="#2-topic-selection">#</a>
</h4>
<p>In this phase, contributors will choose a topic that is in line with the scope of <em>The 2021 Conference on AI Music Creativity.</em></p>
<h4 id="3-literature-review">
3. Literature review
<a class="anchor" href="#3-literature-review">#</a>
</h4>
<p>During this step, contributors will gather, analyse, and discuss papers from the scientific literature that are related to the topic of interest. They will outline existing weaknesses and limitations in current solutions and suggest what is missing.</p>
<h4 id="4-solution-design">
4. Solution design
<a class="anchor" href="#4-solution-design">#</a>
</h4>
<p>In this step, contributors will have brainstorming sessions in order to come up with tentative solutions that address the chosen topic / problem.</p>
<h4 id="5-solution-implementation">
5. Solution implementation
<a class="anchor" href="#5-solution-implementation">#</a>
</h4>
<p>In this phase, contributors will develop the solution. This will likely be in the form of code.</p>
<h4 id="6-evaluation">
6. Evaluation
<a class="anchor" href="#6-evaluation">#</a>
</h4>
<p>During this step, members will evaluate the validity of the proposed solution. Depending on the chosen topic, this will happen in different ways. For example, the proposed model(s) can be tested against other base-line solutions, or they can be evaluated using user studies.</p>
<h4 id="7-write-up">
7. Write up
<a class="anchor" href="#7-write-up">#</a>
</h4>
<p>In this phase, contributors will write up the research they carried out.</p>
<h4 id="8-submission">
8. Submission
<a class="anchor" href="#8-submission">#</a>
</h4>
<p>The paper has been submitted to <em>The 2022 Conference on AI Music Creativity.</em></p>
