Multimodal Machine Learning for Music (MML4Music) 
This repo contains a curated list of academic papers, datasets and other resources on multimodal machine learning (MML) research applied to music. By Ilaria Manco ([email protected]), Centre for Digital Music, QMUL.
This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, as MML for music is a varied and growing field, tackling a wide variety of tasks, from music information retrieval to generation, through many different methods. Since this research area is also not yet well established, conventions and definitions aren't set in stone and this list aims to provide a point of reference for its ongoing development.
