International Symposium on Music Information Retrieval

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
* User needs and expectations
