WORKSHOP ON MACHINE LEARNING AND MUSIC

ECML/PKDD-09 EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON MACHINE LEARNING AND PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY IN DATABASES

BLED, SLOVENIA

7 - 11 SEPTEMBER 2009

CALL FOR PAPERS

http://www.iua.upf.es/~rramirez/MML09/

This conference is taking place on September 7, 2009, as part of ECML/PKDD-09, European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases

http://www.ecmlpkdd2009.net/

Research on machine learning and music is gaining increasing popularity due to the rapid expansion of music in audio formats, increasing availability of social music tagging data, and the ongoing musicological interest in mining of symbolic music data. As complexity of the problems investigated by researchers on this area increases, there is a need to develop new algorithms and methods to solve these problems. Machine learning has proved to provide efficient solutions to many music-related problems. The goal of MML 2008 is to bring together researchers who are using machine learning in musical applications, providing the opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing work in the area. The workshop is planned to last one full day, and will feature paper presentations, panel discussions and open discussions.

We invite contributions describing machine learning approaches to music processing including, but not limited to:

Sound synthesis and analysis

Pattern discovery in music

Computational musicology

Folk song analysis and classification

Music genre classification

Music analysis

Music Information Retrieval

Knowledge Representation and Computational Models

Psychoacoustics and Music Perception

Cognitive Modeling

Adaptive Systems and Music Education

Algorithmic Composition

Interactive Performance Systems

Digital Audio Signal Processing
