What is Synthetic Media: The Ultimate Guide
Media expressed in the purely synthetic form will radically accelerate the process of content creation and delivery. Its accessibility and interactivity will usher in an exciting new era of digital media, one in which creativity, insight, and imagination determine content dissemination instead of the limitations imposed by physical space. Novel forms of synthetic media blur the distinction between physical and digital environments. This new creative expression category will unleash powerful user experiences built on a new dynamic relationship between media and human perception. When we are talking about this new world of AI-generated synthetic media, we are talking about a space that combines some of the most potent forces in our world: live video, visual content, and audio, along with the most advanced technology platform to drive them. Synthetic media is a new form of virtual media produced with the help of artificial intelligence (AI). It is characterized by a high degree of realism and immersiveness. Furthermore, synthetic media tends to be indistinguishable from other real-world media, making it very difficult for the user to tell apart from its artificial nature.

Tokyo Kion-On: Query-Based Generative Sonification of Atmospheric Data
Amid growing environmental concerns, interactive displays of data constitute an important tool for exploring and understanding the impact of climate change on the planet's ecosystemic integrity. This paper presents Tokyo kion-on, a query-based sonification model of Tokyo's air temperature from 1876 to 2021. The system uses a recurrent neural network architecture known as LSTM with attention trained on a small dataset of Japanese melodies and conditioned upon said atmospheric data. After describing the model's implementation, a brief comparative illustration of the musical results is presented, along with a discussion on how the exposed hyper-parameters can promote active and non-linear exploration of the data.
🇺🇸 Machine learning job: Senior AI Research Scientist at Earth Species Project (work from anywhere!)
Senior AI Research Scientist at Earth Species Project Remote › Worldwide, 100% remote position (Posted Aug 3 2022) Job description The Earth Species Project (ESP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to decoding animal communication and translating non-human language. ESP partners with biologists and machine learning researchers at universities and institutions around the world and we are honored to be supported by many forward-looking philanthropists and groups, including the Internet Archive, TED Audacious 2020, and the entrepreneur and author Reid Hoffman. Our work has been featured on NPR's Invisibilia documentary, "Two Heart Beats a Minute," "How to Talk to Animals" in Wall Street Journal's The Future of Everything, "The Challenges of Animal Translation" in the New Yorker, published in Scientific Reports, and was honored at the inaugural Anthem Awards. We aim to enable every person to more deeply understand our co-inhabitants on Earth and in doing so, to permanently alter human perspective and culture. Purpose of role You will join an incredible and global remote team, and will be responsible for developing pioneering research towards decoding and translating non-human communication, including extending unsupervised translation techniques and tackling cornerstone biological and computational problems on large-scale multimodal behavioral datasets.
Musicking Deep Reinforcement Learning
Abstract: In this paper, I relate an auto-reflexive analysis of my practice of designing and musicking deep reinforcement learning. Based on technical description of the Co-Explorer, a deep reinforcement learning agent designed to support sonic exploration through positive or negative human feedback, I discuss how deep reinforcement learning can be seen as a form of sonic comprovisational agent, which enables musicians to compose a parameter sound space, then to engage in embodied improvisation by guiding the agent through sound space using feedback. I then relate on my own musicking experiments led with the Co-Explorer, which resulted to the creation of the ægo music performance, and build on these to sketch a music representation for deep reinforcement learning, highlighting its original aesthetics, as well as its ontological shifts between performer and agent, and epistemological tensions with engineering-oriented representations. Rather than discrediting the latters, my wish is to create space for practicebased approaches to machine learning in a way that is complementary to engineering-oriented approaches, while contributing to further music representations and discourses on artificial intelligence.
