| About Music IR 2000
|
| Interest in music information retrieval (music IR) is exploding. This
is not
| surprising: music IR has the potential for a wide variety of
applications in
| the educational and academic domains as well as for entertainment.
Yet, until
| now, there has been no established forum specifically for people
studying
| music retrieval.
|
| The International Symposium on Music Information Retrieval will be
held in
| Plymouth, Massachusetts from October 23-25, 2000. Building upon
research being
| conducted around the world, this will be the first music IR symposium.
The
| resulting information interchange will enable scholars to move more
quickly
| towards viable solutions to many problems. The conference will include
both
| invited and submitted papers, plus a panel with live performance of
musical
| examples on the piano. The keynote speaker will be Marvin Minsky,
founder of
| the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and long-term member of the
| Computer Music Journal editorial Board.
|
|
| General Topics
|
| Topics to be covered may include, but are not limited to, the
following:
|
| " Estimating similarity of melodies and polyphonic music
| " Music representation and indexing
| " Problems of recognizing music optically and/or via audio
| " Routing and filtering for music
| " Building up music databases
| " Evaluation of music-IR systems
| " Intellectual property rights issues
| " User interfaces for music IR
| " Issues related to musical styles and genres
| " Language modeling for music
