Having your own words processed and restated can help you improve your thinking and your writing. That’s one reason why talking with someone about your ideas can help you clarify your thoughts. ChatGPT is certainly no replacement for a knowledgable friend or colleague, […]
Like the rest of the internet, I’ve been playing with ChatGPT, the new AI chatbot released by OpenAI, and I’ve been fascinated by how much it does well and how it still gets a lot wrong. ChatGPT is a foundation model, that […]
A few weeks ago Meta released Galactica, a language model that generates scientific papers based on a prompt you type in. They put it online and invited people to try it out, but had to remove it after just three days after […]
This spring when I was learning R, I came across a paper by Anders Kristian Munk, Asger Gehrt Olesen and Mathieu Jacomy about using machine learning in anthropology – not to classify big data, as machine learning is often used, but to […]
I’m co-organising a preconfernece workshop for AoIR2022 in Dublin today with Annette Markham and MaryElizabeth Luka today, and I’m going to show a few of the ways I’ve engaged with new digital platforms and genres over the years. This is a key […]
I’m (virtually) attending Elisa Serifinalli’s conference Drones in Society: New Visual Aesthetics today, and will be presenting work-in-progress exploring how drones are presented in the 500 novels, movies, artworks, games and other stories that we have analysed in the Database of Machine […]

Purdue Engineers have come up with an image search engine . If we are lucky they’ll work on the audio one next. That will solve the problem of songs being stuck in our heads that we can’t remember fully.

Some people the apparently used to work for Yamaha worked on some music recognition stuff, but they changed their plans and started working on a copyright cop bot (or whatever).

This is wonderful! Thank you! I can’t wait till all these tools are actually out there!

You might try Shazam. I don’t know if you can sing a song to them, but it does work if you play a song you want to know the name of into a cell phone.

That is so cool! Here’s the consumer’s site for Shazam, too. It’s not even awesomely expensive – 59p a go. Only in the UK, though.
Why hasn’t it hit Norway yet, I wonder?

Over here in Canada, we rely on the Sad Goat to sort out the songs that whirl ’round our heads and whose title we can’t remember. The Sad Goat is a 1-800 hundred toll-free phone number for Richardson’s Roundup, a national radio show on the public broadcaster, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation: http://www.cbc.ca/roundup/
