GCs from #ISMIR25: The jam session last year in San Francisco was not supposed to be topped by any future ISMIR editions. I just saw some videos of what happened yesterday and you clearly ignored our memo. My goodness titans, what have you done?! SO EPIC /cc @keunwoochoi.bsky.social (#somuchfomo)

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

I think we finally cracked it? FLAM can detect *any* sound via text prompts

As a meta-reviewer, I rejected 3 out of 3 papers for #ISMIR2025. Got unlucky this time!

Very interesting slide shared last week at the SALMA workshop at #ICASSP, presented by Sreyan Ghosh. Pretty mind-blowing the rate of progress of Audio-Language Models in the past few years!

Still processing the fact that our team won so many awards with Generative Extend. So proud of the work we did! Congrats, titans!😍

Justin Salamon @justinsalamon.bsky.social · Apr 11

Generative Extend in Premiere Pro just won *five* awards at NAB 2025, including the NAB Show Product of the Year award! SODA, our group, created the audio GenAI model in charge of audio extensions in the feature. Couldn't be more proud of the team!

So proud to be part of the team that brought the audio part of GenExtend to life! 😍

Justin Salamon @justinsalamon.bsky.social · Apr 2

Generative Extend just released in Premiere Pro! Use GenAI to extend your video *and audio* clips for a perfectly timed edit.

The audio model was built by our team, the Sound Design AI (SODA) group at Adobe Research w/ @pseeth.bsky.social and @urinieto.bsky.social 🙌

What's up with the invitation letters for the India visa for those who are traveling to ICASSP this year? The conference is less than a month away and we still haven't received our letters. I suspect many registered participants won't be able to attend because of that :/ #ICASSP

I love how DiffRhythm keeps changing time signatures à la Dream Theater (ie, seemingly random). The vocals are in a quite deep uncanny valley, but the music sounds super good. And the audio prompting works really well! And all open source! Great job, titans <3 huggingface.co/spaces/ASLP-...

After using Cursor with Sonnet 3.5 for around a month, I gotta say it truly is a game changer. I don't think I ever want to go back to coding without AI assistants. The "vibes coding" that Karpathy is talking about is 100% real www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPTCod...

PS: Yes, I gave up Neovim 🫣

📢PSA: #NeurIPS2024 recordings are now publicly available!

The workshops always have tons of interesting things on at once, so the FOMO is real😵‍💫 Luckily it's all recorded, so I've been catching up on what I missed.
