معرفی
Björn Thor Jónsson is a Doctoral Research Fellow at the RITMO Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Rhythm, Time and Motion, affiliated with the Department of Informatics (IFI) under the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the University of Oslo. His work focuses on applying evolutionary algorithms and quality diversity search methods to create systems for unbounded sonic discovery.
- Current Role: Doctoral Research Fellow at RITMO Centre
- Institution: University of Oslo
- Projects: Evolutionary Sound Exploration, Modeling and Robots, Musical Human-Computer Interaction
Björn investigates how generative models, when pushed beyond prompted boundaries, can yield novel sound designs and rhythmic structures. His research leverages evolutionary algorithms to build 'sound innovation engines' capable of discovering diverse audio patterns through compositional pattern-producing networks and audio graphs.
The three recent publications from 2024 demonstrate applications of quality diversity algorithms in audio synthesis, sound object discovery, and creative system design. These works connect evolutionary computation with practical sound engineering challenges, exploring methods for sonic exploration that combine algorithmic diversity with human interaction.
