MML 2012 - MML 2012: 5th International Workshop on Machine Learning and Music

MML 2012: 5th International Workshop on Machine Learning and Music
Edinburgh, Scotland June 30 or July 1, 2012
https://sites.google.com/site/musicmachinelearning...
Held in conjunction with the International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML) 2012
http://icml.cc/2012/
With the current explosion and quick expansion of music in digital formats, and the computational power of modern systems, research on machine learning and music is gaining increasing popularity. As complexity of the problems investigated by researchers on machine learning and music 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 both of academic and commercial interest. MML 2012 aims to build on the previous four successful MML editions, MML’08 (Helsinki, Finland), MML’09 (Bled, Slovenia), MML'10 (Florence, Italy) and MML’11 (Sierra Nevada, Spain).
Papers in all applications on music and machine learning are welcome, including but not limited to automatic classification of music (audio and MIDI), style-based interpreter recognition, automatic composition and improvisation, music recommender systems, genre and tag prediction, score alignment, polyphonic pitch detection, chord extraction, pattern discovery, beat tracking, and expressive performance modeling. Audio demonstrations are encouraged when indicated by the content of the paper.
Submissions

Extended abstracts of 2 printed pages in two-column ICML format are welcome. Extended abstracts will be evaluated according to their originality and relevance to the workshop, and should include author names, affiliations, contact information, and an abstract of 60-100 words. Authors should indicate if they have a preference for presentation as a talk or poster. Please note that, to encourage wide participation, the workshop will publish revised extended abstracts and not full papers. Contributions should be in PDF format and submitted to the workshop email address musml2012-AT-gmail.com. ICML format details can be found on the ICML conference web site.
