AIST-Cube: Interacting with music/lyrics

Designed and implemented the exhibibition of Lyric App Framework for AIST-Cube, the permanent exhibition facility of AIST renewed in April 2025.

This seminar series is organized by AIST and will invite rising stars in the Human-Computer Interaction field and cover diverse topics which are directly/indirectly connected to creativity support research.

ODEN seamlessly supports the edit and experiment repetition in deep learning application development by allowing the user to construct the neural network (NN) with the live visualization and transits into experimentation to instantly train and test the NN architecture.

"Guided optimization" provides programmers a set of valid optimization options and interactive feedback about their current choices, which enables them to comprehend and efficiently optimize the image processing code without the time-consuming process of trial-and-error in traditional text editors.

We propose a "lyric app," a novel media format of interactive lyric-driven visual art. We developed a framework to support its development, collected 52 examples in the wild, and gained insights into the future of creative culture and the intersection of music and programming.
