Expectation and Acoustic Neural Network Representations Enhance Music Identification from Brain Activity

Shogo Noguchi, Taketo Akama, Tai Nakamura +2

During music listening, cortical activity encodes both acoustic and expectation-related information. Prior work has shown that ANN representations resemble cortical representations…

PF-D2M: A Pose-free Diffusion Model for Universal Dance-to-Music Generation

Jaekwon Im, Natalia Polouliakh, Taketo Akama

Dance-to-music generation aims to generate music that is aligned with dance movements. Existing approaches typically rely on body motion features extracted from a single human danc…

SSDLabeler: Realistic semi-synthetic data generation for multi-label artifact classification in EEG

Taketo Akama, Akima Connelly, Shun Minamikawa +1

EEG recordings are inherently contaminated by artifacts such as ocular, muscular, and environmental noise, which obscure neural activity and complicate preprocessing. Artifact clas…

Naturalistic Music Decoding from EEG Data via Latent Diffusion Models

Emilian Postolache, Natalia Polouliakh, Hiroaki Kitano +4

In this article, we explore the potential of using latent diffusion models, a family of powerful generative models, for the task of reconstructing naturalistic music from electroen…

Self-supervised Auxiliary Loss for Metric Learning in Music Similarity-based Retrieval and Auto-tagging

Taketo Akama, Hiroaki Kitano, Katsuhiro Takematsu +2

In the realm of music information retrieval, similarity-based retrieval and auto-tagging serve as essential components. Given the limitations and non-scalability of human supervisi…
