The ethical implications\u0026nbsp;when considering individuals with disabilities quickly move beyond beneficence, justice, and autonomy to specific concerns of privacy, safety, and informed choice. As we create disruptive, transformational technologies, it is critical that we pause to ensure we have employed an ethical framework throughout each phase of\u0026nbsp;development and deployment so we can design for true inclusion.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EShelden will talk about urban automation from the perspective of the built environment -- buildings, infrastructure and cities \u0026nbsp;\u0026ndash; which is increasingly becoming \u0026ldquo;smart,\u0026rdquo; as physical spaces and devices in these spaces are connected to simulations and data platforms on the cloud. This presents opportunities for improved understanding of the behaviors of built environments and the interactions of occupants in these environments. At the same time, important questions of information, individuality, and culture are becoming more pressing. Questions of data privacy and ownership, security, and identity that are becoming critical questions for individuals and for societies will become pressing in the design and operation of the built environment.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout the Research Forums\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nThe College of Design Research Forums allow the College community and our friends across the campus to experience the design- and technology-focused research at Georgia Tech.

I keep raising the question of how people will use their power, their unearned power, to weaken systems of unearned power. I think most white people have been trained to think of themselves as not having much power that they can use towards social change.

In fact, I have come to say to school faculty groups that I believe they must reengineer and reshape the school entrance hall to prevent depression! In addition, I strongly recommend that small classes be configured as a circles with everyone facing each other, rather than having some look at the backs of heads of others, in rows.

He\u0026rsquo;s worked with Shimon for seven years, enabling it to \u0026ldquo;listen\u0026rdquo; to music played by humans and improvise over pre-composed chord progressions. Now Shimon is a solo composer for the first time, generating the melody and harmonic structure on its own.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;Once Shimon learns the four measures we provide, it creates its own sequence of concepts and composes its own piece,\u0026rdquo; said Bretan, who will receive his doctorate in music technology this summer at Georgia Tech. \u0026ldquo;Shimon\u0026rsquo;s compositions represent how music sounds and looks when a robot uses deep neural networks to learn everything it knows about music from millions of human-made segments.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBretan says this is the first time a robot has used deep learning to create music. And unlike its days of improvising, when it played monophonically, Shimon is able to play harmonies and chords. It\u0026rsquo;s also thinking much more like a human musician, focusing less on the next note, as it did before, and more on the overall structure of the composition. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;When we play or listen to music, we don\u0026rsquo;t think about the next note and only that next note,\u0026rdquo; said Bretan. \u0026ldquo;An artist has a bigger idea of what he or she is trying to achieve within the next few measures or later in the piece.

As long as the researchers feed it a different seed, the robot will produce something different each time \u0026mdash; music that the researchers can\u0026rsquo;t predict. In the first piece, Bretan fed Shimon a melody comprised of eighth notes. It received a sixteenth note melody the second time, which influenced it to generate faster note sequences.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBretan acknowledges that he can\u0026rsquo;t pick out individual songs that Shimon is referencing.

Students take courses in areas such as music information retrieval, music perception and cognition, signal processing, interactive music, the history of electronic music, and technology ensemble. They also work closely with faculty on collaborative research projects and on their own MS project or thesis. Recent students in the program have worked and\/or interned at companies such as Apple, Avid, Dolby, Bose, Gracenote, Rdio, Sennheiser, Ableton, Echo Nest, and Smule, and gone on to PhD studies. Applicants are expected to have an undergraduate degree in music, computing, engineering, or a related discipline, and they should possess both strong musical and technical skills.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EStudents in the PhD program in Music Technology pursue individualized research agendas in close collaboration with faculty in areas such as interactive music, robotic musicianship, music information retrieval, digital signal processing, mobile music, network music, and music education, focusing on conducting and disseminating novel research with a broad impact. PhD students are also trained in research methods, teaching pedagogy, and an interdisciplinary minor field as they prepare for careers in academia, at industry research labs, or in their own startup companies. PhD applicants are expected to hold a Masters degree in music technology or from an allied field, such as computing, music, engineering, or media arts and sciences. All applicants must demonstrate mastery of core masters-level material covered in Music Technology, including music theory, performance, composition, and\/or analysis; music information retrieval; digital signal processing and synthesis; interactive music systems design; and music cognition.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBoth the MS and PhD programs are housed within the School of Music at Georgia Tech, in close collaboration with the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology (GTCMT).
