Qiuqiang Kong is a researcher specializing in Audio Processing and Artificial Intelligence. His work focuses on advancing audio pattern recognition, audio generation, and audio-language multimodal research. Kong has developed large-scale pretrained audio neural networks and explored weakly supervised learning for audio classification and sound event detection. His research includes innovative approaches such as CNN-transformer architectures, gated convolutional neural networks, and deep resunet models for music source separation. He has also contributed to the creation of large-scale datasets for classical piano music and audio captioning. Kong's work emphasizes the integration of deep learning techniques with audio signal processing to improve performance in tasks like audio tagging, sound event detection, and speech synthesis.
