[02] Colin Raffel - Learning-Based Methods for Comparing Sequences

The Thesis Review

Colin Raffel is currently a Senior Research Scientist at Google Brain, and soon to be an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina. His recent work focuses on transfer learning and learning from limited labels. His thesis is titled "Learning-Based Methods for Comparing Sequences, with Applications to Audio-to-MIDI Alignment and Matching", which we discuss along with the connections to his later work, and plans for the future.
