Abstract
Singing voice detection is a fundamental task in music information retrieval, which benefits other tasks such as singing voice separation. We propose a new algorithm based on a deeper convolution neural network, fed with the logarithmic and mel-scaled spectrogram, to exact and integrate the features of the different layers of the network and to discriminate the singing voice finally. We demonstrate that this deeper network can produce good performances and be designed efficiently to some extent. The experiments are based on the public datasets: Jamendo, Mir1k, RWC pop, and their combined dataset. We also studied what depth of the network is suitable for this task. The experiments show that the optimal depth on the four public datasets is 152.

Computer Science PhD Student

I am a Computer Science PhD student at the University of Virginia, advised by Prof. Geoffrey C. Fox. I develop generative AI (GenAI) and scientific machine learning methods, with a focus on flow matching and GPU-accelerated differentiable simulation. My work connects efficient sampling, benchmark design, and model evaluation with inverse problems in the physical sciences. I contribute to DeepVELA, a Genesis Mission project exploring agentic benchmarks for scientific applications in collaboration with MLCommons. My work spans time, energy, space, cost, and precision evaluation and agent harness design with structured, verifiable outputs. I have also prototyped and trained JEPA world models.

I am seeking 2027 research internships in generative AI and ML systems. Get in touch.
