On Oct. 4, the Harker Programming Club held its annual Girls Programing League (GPL) Challenge, a yearly online programming contest designed to encourage young women to explore the fields of computer science, technology and artificial intelligence. The contest featured both novice and advanced divisions, in which entrants developed creative solutions to a series programming problems. Gathering to discuss the intersection between computer science and global phenomenon of Korean pop music (better known as K-pop) were Jin Ha Lee, professor and founding director of the GAME Research Group at the University of Washington; Eun Jeong Kang, a PhD student at Cornell University; Haven Kim, a PhD in computer science at UC San Diego; and Sara Cardinale, a PhD student studying AI and music at Queen Mary University. Each of the guests brought unique insight based on their expertise and interests; Kim’s recent work involved using datasets of k-pop lyrics to train neural models to produce singable translations, while Lee has been researching how to organize and provide access to popular music.
