All times are given in Central European Summer Time (CEST / UTC +2).
POSTCITY, AIxMusic Workshop Stage

In recent years, there has been a great deal of academic interest on applying Deep Learning to creative tasks such as for generating texts, images or music with fascinating results. Technically speaking, Deep Learning models can only learn the statistics of the data. Thus, they often can learn relationships in the data that human observers have not been aware of, and can therefore serve as a new source of inspiration for human creativity. This workshop focuses on current technical approaches for automatic music generation.
