Upwork is hiring a Develop AI/Machine Learning Model to Critique Music

We're seeking an experienced AI/Machine Learning Developer to join our team in enhancing our online music platform. This platform empowers musicians to upload their tracks for evaluation by industry professionals, utilizing a 1-5 star rating system. Your primary responsibility will be to develop an AI/machine learning model capable of analyzing uploaded music and generating ratings on the 1-5 scale. Below, we outline the key steps involved in this exciting project:

Step 1 - Platform Requirements Definition:

Collaborate with our team to clearly define the platform's goals and requirements, establishing criteria for critiquing music on the 1-5 scale. Identify the musical features to be evaluated, such as melody, rhythm, and production quality, to guide the rating generation process.

Step 2 - Data Collection:

Lead the gathering of a diverse dataset of music tracks, each labeled with ratings on the 1-5 scale. Ensure the dataset encompasses various music genres and styles, enabling the AI model to provide meaningful critiques across the spectrum.

Step 3 - Feature Extraction:

Utilize advanced techniques to extract pertinent features from the music tracks. These features will serve as input for the AI model and may include tempo, key, chord progression, and spectral characteristics, among others.

Step 4 - Model Selection:

Identify or develop a suitable machine learning model capable of analyzing extracted features and generating accurate ratings on the 1-5 scale. Select from regression, classification, or deep learning approaches based on project complexity and requirements.

Step 5 - Model Training:

Lead the training of the chosen model using the labeled music dataset. Employ techniques like cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning to optimize performance, leveraging substantial computational resources.

Step 7 - Platform Integration:

Work closely with our internal development team to seamlessly integrate the trained AI model into the platform. Ensure a user-friendly interface facilitates music upload and rating retrieval, enhancing the overall user experience.

While our internal development team will handle core platform programming and AI model integration, we seek a candidate with specialized expertise in AI/machine learning modeling. If you're passionate about leveraging cutting-edge technology to revolutionize the music industry, we'd love to hear from you!
