Jammin-gpt:Text-based Improvisation using LLMs in Ableton Live

We introduce a system that allows users of Ableton Live to create MIDI-clips by naming them with musical descriptions. Users can compose by typing the desired musical content directly in Ableton's clip view, which is then inserted by our integrated system. This allows users to stay in the flow of their creative process while quickly generating musical ideas. The system works by prompting ChatGPT to reply using one of several text-based musical formats, such as ABC notation, chord symbols, or drum tablature. This is an important step in integrating generative AI tools into pre-existing musical workflows, and could be valuable for content makers who prefer to express their creative vision through descriptive language.

Capture-24: Activity tracker dataset for human activity recognition

This dataset contains Axivity AX3 wrist-worn activity tracker data that were collected from 151 participants in 2014-2016 around the Oxfordshire area. Participants were asked to wear the device in daily living for a period of roughly 24 hours, amounting to a total of almost 4,000 hours. Vicon Autograph wearable cameras and Whitehall II sleep diaries were used to obtain the ground truth activities performed during the period (e.g. sitting watching TV, walking the dog, washing dishes, sleeping), resulting in more than 2,500 hours of labelled data. Accompanying code to analyse this data is available at https://github.com/activityMonitoring/capture24. The following papers describe the data collection protocol in full: i.)

Regarding Data Protection, the Clinical Data Set will not include any direct subject identifiers. However, it is possible that the Data Set may contain certain information that could be used in combination with other information to identify a specific individual, such as a combination of activities specific to that individual ("Personal Data"). Accordingly, in the conduct of the Analysis, users will comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to information privacy. Further, the user agrees to preserve the confidentiality of, and not attempt to identify, individuals in the Data Set
