blog.ml.cmu.edu/2025/04/09/cop… How do real-world developer preferences compare to existing evaluations? A CMU and UC Berkeley team led by Wayne Chi and Valerie Chen created Copilot Arena to collect user preferences on in-the-wild workflows. This blogpost overviews the  design and

What role can AI play in unlocking musical creativity? At #CHI2025 (🥇 Best Paper Award 🥇), we present Amuse: a songwriting tool for musicians that turns photos, sounds, and stories into chords 🎶 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2412.18940 🎧 yewon-kim.com/amuse/

Out now in Nature Communications! We investigated the neural basis of dynamic categorization in human visual cortex. See thread for more: nature.com/articles/s4146…

Copilot Arena was featured in CMU School of Computer Science news! Featuring quotes from me, Wayne Chi, Ameet Talwalkar and Chris Donahue 🥳 📖Check out the article here: cs.cmu.edu/news/2025/copi…

At #CHI2025 in Yokohama this week 🌸. My first CHI, excited to finally attend. Check out my incoming PhD student Yewon Kim talk about our recent work on multimodal AI for songwriters, and happy to chat with anyone about human AI interaction for music, programming, and creativity!

📢 Introducing VERSA: our new open-source toolkit for speech & audio evaluation! - 80+ metrics in one unified interface - Flexible input support - Distributed evaluation with Slurm - ESPnet compatible Check out the details wavlab.org/activities/202… github.com/wavlab-speech/…

✅ End to end generation of expressive performance *audio* from score *images*! An important step towards seamless interaction with computer music systems and a fun collaboration between Dasaem’s group at Sogang University and my group at CMU

Try *style* prompting Magenta RT with your favorite audio in our Colab demo! colab.sandbox.google.com/github/magenta… *Live input* audio prompting coming soon 👀

🔥Happy to announce that the AI for Music Workshop is coming to #NeurIPS2025! We have an amazing lineup of speakers! We call for papers & demos (due on August 22)! See you in San Diego!🏖️ Chris Donahue Ilaria Manco Akira MAEZAWA Anna Huang McAuley Lab UCSD Zachary Novack NeurIPS Conference

I converted one of my favorite talks I've given over the past year into a blog post. "On the Tradeoffs of SSMs and Transformers" (or: tokens are bullshit) In a few days, we'll release what I believe is the next major advance for architectures.

New VST/AU Plugin! 🚨 Play with Lyria RealTime directly from inside your favorite DAW with “The Infinite Crate” 🎧🎶 Like other Lyria RT demos, you can mix together text prompts and other controls to steer the model in real-time. But now with a VST plugin you can feed audio

Tokenization has been the final barrier to truly end-to-end language models. We developed the H-Net: a hierarchical network that replaces tokenization with a dynamic chunking process directly inside the model, automatically discovering and operating over meaningful units of data

Heading to Vancouver for ICML✈️🇨🇦Let’s chat about coding agents, evals, and human-AI collab. I’ll also be on the job market this upcoming cycle, looking for TT faculty roles + post-docs. Here's where you'll be able to find me this week👇
