Research

Overwiew

My research started off with comparing the performance of automated algorithms against humans for cross-cultural music similarity. I worked on some analysis of diversity in Indian music and I'm currently working on the global jukebox project.

I mostly use R, Python and write my code in Jupyter Notebooks. I'm good at plotting data, cleaning data, performing dimensionality reduction, some basic DSP, and implementing simple machine learning models.
