This is Giovana's super cool website

I am a PhD Candidate at New York University and a member of the Music and Audio Research (MARL) lab, where I am supervised by Magdalena Fuentes. I am interested in multimodal models (audio-vision, audio-text), explainability techniques, music information retrieval and all of them combined.
