ISMIR
2002
3rd International Conference on
Music Information Retrieval
IRCAM – Centre
Pompidou
Paris, France
October 13-17, 2002
RESEARCH TOPICS
Domains
to be covered (this is a non-exclusive list), as they apply to music
information retrieval:
·
Algorithms and methods for
classification, clustering, probabilistic modelling, association analysis
·
Artificial intelligence
·
Data mining
·
Expert systems
·
Formal models of music
·
Knowledge representation, discovery
and acquisition
·
Machine learning
·
Pattern recognition
·
Perception and cognition
·
Soft computing (neural networks,
fuzzy systems, evolutionary computation)
Typical topics of interest, inasmuch as they relate to music
information retrieval, are:
·
Formal models of music and their
digital representations
·
Music digital libraries (design,
use)
·
Music indexing and metadata
(authoring and generation)
·
Music recognition (printed, audio)
·
Music representation, coding,
language modelling
·
Musical styles and genres
·
Music summarization
·
Music similarity metrics (perceptual
criteria such as pitch, rhythm, timbre; musical criteria such as form, genre,
etc.)
·
Query languages for music IR
(expressiveness, complexity)
·
Routing and filtering for music and
music queries
·
Standards (metadata schema, XML,
MPEG, Dublin Core, *MARC, Z39.50…) and other metadata or protocols for music
information retrieval (CDDB, …)
·
User interfaces
·
Socio-cultural aspects
·
Systems issues (performance,
compression, scalability, databases, architecture, distributed search,
multi-agent systems, mobile applications)
·
Validation (user needs and
expectations, evaluation of music IR systems, building test collections,
experimental design and metrics)
·
Intellectual property rights issues
(nationally and internationally)
·
Business models and experience
