I lead a team of MLEs and data engineers to train internal large language models (LLMs) in Roche / Genentech.
Previously, I applied machine learning and deep learning techniques to solve music and audio AI -- problems such as music tagging, source separation, transcription as well as audio understanding and synthesis.
Leading development of large Language Models.

Leading an AI music/audio team covering music source separation, audio generation, and 3D audio.
Large-scale deep learning systems for music and video content creation, social media, and music streaming service. Music research roadmapping for scalable and sustainable growth.
Music content understanding and discovery for 300M+ users of the global leader in music industry
3D audio reproduction systems for immersive acoustic experience
🏆 I received Best Paper Award at ISMIR 2017, the most prestigous music information retrieval research conference.
🎖️ I was also nominated for Best Paper Award at ISMIR 2023.
🖥 I am the creator and maintainer of Kapre, a Python package for Tensorflow (Keras) Audio Preprocessing layers.
⌨️ I am a contributor of librosa, Keras, and torchaudio.
📄 I first-authored 10+ peer-reviewed papers at venues including ISMIR, ICASSP, EUSIPCO, ICML Workshop, etc.
📖 I review papers at NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, ISMIR, ICASSP, AAAI, etc.
💡 I created and have co-organized an AI challenge for sound synthesis in 2023 and 2024.
💡 I am one of the general chairs of ISMIR 2025, with Prof. Juhan Nam and Prof. Dasaem Jeong.
📕 I co-authored a web book about music classification. We used it in our tutorial at ISMIR 2021
📕 I also wrote another web book, 'LLMs <3 MIR', 2023 May. It is a tutorial on large language models for music information retrieval.
🎼 I make music as keunwoo.OOO, as a composer, lyricist, singer, and producer.
