Darrell Conklin, researcher at City University London, will give a seminar with the title "Discovery of Distinctive Patterns in Music" on Thursday Oct. 2 2008 at 3pm in the França Auditorium as part of the DTIC research seminars.
Abstract: This talk proposes a new view of pattern discovery in music: mining of a corpus for patterns that are overrepresented with respect to an anticorpus. Distinctive patterns have applicability to comparative music analysis tasks where an anticorpus can be defined and contrasted with an analysis corpus. An algorithm for distinctive pattern discovery will be described and illustrated on three different problems: a motivic analysis of a Brahms string quartet, a comparative analysis of European folk song melodies, and a tripartite music genre analysis using chord patterns.
