Intro
Hi, I'm Jakub, a master's student in Computer Science at WUT with a great passion for music. My academic focus lies in multimedia and artificial intelligence, with a primary interest in audio. I'm currently working on my thesis, exploring the mechanistic interpretability of music neural models. Outside of research, I'm a guitarist and music producer, specializing in progressive rock, ambient, new age among other genres.
Science
My scientific focus is on multimedia, with a particular passion for audio and music. I'm interested in topics such as Music Information Retrieval, Spatial Audio, Generative AI, and human-computer interaction. I also care deeply about the explainability of AI, especially in the context of supporting artists in their creative work.
