Ioannis Vasilakis

Ioannis Vasilakis is a Visiting Professor at Queen Mary University of London's School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science. His research focuses on active learning for interactive music transcription, aiming to reduce the labor intensity of manual music annotation processes. By integrating uncertainty-aware deep learning techniques, his work develops iterative workflows where the most informative music segments are prioritized for transcription. This approach seeks to optimize training datasets for automatic transcription systems.

His current project involves adapting active learning methodologies to music transcription tasks and creating a browser-based transcription tool to analyze transcriber preferences and subjectivity. The research aligns with Queen Mary's Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) theme in Music Informatics, emphasizing interdisciplinary applications of computational methods in music analysis.
