Fabian Ostermann is a researcher at the Chair 11: ALGORITHM ENGINEERING within the Department of Computer Science at Technical University of Dortmund. His work focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence and music technology, with particular expertise in algorithmic composition and evolutionary approaches to music generation. His primary research interests include: Artificial Intelligence for Music Applications Computer Music and Algorithmic Composition Reinforcement Learning and Evolutionary Algorithms Neuroevolution and Procedural Content Generation Music Information Retrieval Systems Ostermann's research output demonstrates a strong focus on applying AI techniques to music creation and analysis. His recent work explores the use of large language models in evolutionary music generation, adaptive video game music systems, and novel approaches to instrument recognition in polyphonic audio. He has developed significant resources for the research community including the AAM dataset of artificial audio multitracks, which contains 3,000 algorithmically generated music tracks with rich annotations. His scientific contributions have been recognized through invitations to serve on program committees for major conferences including EvoMUSART (2024, 2025) and IJCAI's Special Track on AI, the Arts, & Creativity. He has also contributed to journals such as Computer Music Journal and Transactions of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval. Ostermann has supervised numerous student theses on topics ranging from transformer-based music generation to evolutionary approaches for recreating vector graphics. His teaching portfolio includes courses on practical optimization, music informatics, and digital entertainment technologies across multiple semesters from WS20/21 through SS25.
