Victor SHEPHARDSON
Victor is a doctoral researcher in the Intelligent Instruments Lab at LHI. Previously he worked as a machine learning engineer on neural models of speech, and before that he studied Digital Musics at Dartmouth College and Computer Science at the University of Virginia. His interests include machine learning, artificial intelligence, electronic and audiovisual music, and improvisation. In his current research, he approaches the lived experience of people with AI via design and performance of new musical instruments. His projects include the Living Looper, which reimagines the live looping pedal through neural synthesis algorithms, and Notochord, a probabilistic model for MIDI performances.
