Neural Synthesis

Neural synthesis focuses on using artificial neural networks to generate various forms of data, including audio, images, and even computer programs, often from simpler input like MIDI sequences or formal specifications. Current research emphasizes improving the efficiency and controllability of these models, exploring architectures like WaveNet, diffusion models, and adversarial reinforcement learning to achieve high-fidelity outputs and address challenges such as convergence and interpretability. This field is significant for its potential to automate complex creative and engineering tasks, ranging from realistic sound effect generation and 3D facial expression modeling to the automated synthesis of correct and efficient computer programs.
