Jordi Pons (Stability AI): Stable Audio

Abstract: Stable Audio’s research has focused on the efficient generation of long-form, variable-length stereo music and sounds at 44.1kHz using text prompts with generative models. In this presentation we’ll discuss its latest developments, and we’ll see go through our recent contributions on improved musicality, controllability and evaluation.
