Upwork is hiring a Research on Music Generation using Deep Learning - Contract to hire

I am working on a generative AI research project using music transformer to model and generate amapiano music. Below is the project summary:

---

The proposed project aims to explore the use of generative AI for creating new Amapiano beats. Amapiano is a subgenre of house music that emerged in South Africa in the mid- 2010s that has taken the world by storm during the pandemic years since 2020. It is a hybrid of deep house, jazz and lounge music characterised by synths and wide percussive basslines. Since 2022, it has been catapulted into global heights. The project will use a deep learning approach to train a neural network to generate Amapiano music following the genre's style and structure. The project will involve collecting a large dataset of existing Amapiano music (freely available without restriction on use), processing and analysing the data, building and training the neural network, and testing the generated music for authenticity and quality. The project's ultimate goal is to create a tool that could assist Amapiano producers, content producers, and artists generate new, innovative Amapiano music ideas while adhering to the genre's standards and principles.

I'm looking for a freelancer that is *very* interested in the project itself, wants to make a meaningful contribution to ML research, and who is not necessarily motivated by the budget. There is a possibility that this work could extend into more long term work.

Skills required will include experience in writing quality academic papers, deep learning knowledge, research skills, and ability to self manage.

Task: Based off the project description and materials attached in the papers zip file, I want an abstract, introduction, and literature review written. The abstract should contain 300 words, introduction 1500 words, and the literature review 2500 words. Guidelines have been provided for the introduction and literature review in the word document. The literature review contains some already done work. The final work needs to be properly referenced and plagiarism free as it will be checked.

If selected, I will be in constant communication with you and able to answer any questions that you may have. If you have any initial questions, kindly put it in your proposal.
