I develop and apply machine learning tools to improve music discovery. This includes recommender systems, audio similarity, playlist generation, cross-modal feature integration, and automatic annotation.

As of Fall of 2012, I am a postdoctoral research scholar in the Center for Jazz Studies and LabROSA at Columbia University. Sometimes, we blog about it.

Previously, I was a Ph.D. candidate advised by Prof. Gert Lanckriet in the Computer Audition Lab and Artificial Intelligence Group at the University of California, San Diego. In May, 2012, I successfully defended my dissertation, titled More like this: machine learning approaches to music similarity [|].
