MUSIC-AI 2007
International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Music
Held in conjunction with IJCAI2007, The Twentieth
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
Hyderabad, India
January 6-12, 2007
With the explosion and
quick expansion of the music collections available on the
Internet and, more generally of the music in digital formats,
a key challenge in the area of musical information management
is the automation of the annotation, indexation and
organization of music based on its semantic content. One of
main deficiencies in the current music organization and
processing systems is the existing semantic gap between
low-level features or content descriptors that usually can be
obtained in an automatic manner and the richness of musical
information. One of the key issues for bridging the semantic
gap in music technology is the ability to process music based
on its content. Content-based processing is a well established
term that covers very sparse areas like analysis, indexation,
search, and transformation of signals produced by an
audiovisual source. In the music context, content-based
processing is a very fruitful research topic where currently
lots of efforts are being devoted and in which artificial
intelligence plays a central role.
The term music processing covers
all types of music knowledge representations used, including
MIDI and score
representations.
MUSIC-AI 2007
intends to continue a series of events related to artificial
intelligence and music that have been held either in
conjunction with artificial intelligence conferences or
international music-related conferences. The presence of such
events and the increasing number of contributions they receive
indicates that the application of artificial intelligence
techniques to the development of music processing systems is
an active, exciting and significant area of research which has
become an established field of research that is recognized by
both the AI and music communities.
The
workshop
concentrates
around the topic of content-based music processing and
will welcome contributions describing artificial intelligence
approaches in this context. The goal of the workshop is to
bring together researchers who are using artificial
intelligence in musical applications, providing the
opportunity to promote, present and discuss ongoing work in
the area. MUSIC-AI
2007 is planned to
last one full day, and will feature paper presentations, panel
discussions and open discussions. Accepted contributions will
be available from the workshop web page as soon as possible in
order to encourage active discussion during the
workshop. |
