Deep and Shallow Machine Learning in Music and Audio

"Deep and Shallow by Shlomo Dubnov and Ross Greer is an exceptional journey into the convergence of music, artificial intelligence, and signal processing. Seamlessly weaving together intricate theories with practical programming activities, the book guides readers, whether novices or experts, toward a profound understanding of how AI can reshape musical creativity. A true gem for both enthusiasts and professionals, this book eloquently bridges the gap between foundational concepts of music information dynamics as an underlying basis for understanding music structure and listening experience, and cutting-edge applications, ushering us into the future of music and AI with clarity and excitement."

Gil Weinberg, Professor and Founding Director, Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology

"The authors make an enormous contribution, not only as a textbook, but as essential reading on music information dynamics, bridging multiple disciplines of music, information theory, and machine learning.  The theory is illustrated and grounded in plenty of practical information and resources."

Roger B. Dannenberg, Emeritus Professor of Computer Science, Art & Music, Carnegie Mellon University
