Tom Baker

Tom Baker is affiliated with the Department of Computer Science at The University of Manchester. His research focuses on applying machine learning to music, particularly adapting style transfer techniques for guitar performance audio. He holds a Master of Mathematics and Physics in Computational Methods for Music Information Retrieval from the same university (2016–2020), awarded in July 2020. His work explores topics like polyphonic signal processing and audio stream analysis.

His recent publication, 'PolyDDSP,' introduces a lightweight DSP library with applications in music generation and acoustic modeling. While no awards or grants are explicitly noted, his research addresses practical challenges in audio engineering and machine learning integration.
