Seminar by Ichiro Fujinaga on his research on digital libraries

On July 4th at 18:00h in room 55.410, Ichiro Fujinaga, from McGill Univ., gives a seminar on "Current Research at Distributed Digital Music Archives and Libraries Laboratory".

 Abstract: The main goal of this research program is to develop and evaluate practices, frameworks, and tools for the design and construction of worldwide distributed digital music archives and libraries. Over the last few millennia, humans have amassed an enormous amount of information and cultural material that is scattered around the world. It is becoming abundantly clear that the optimal path for acquisition is to distribute the task of digitizing the wealth of historical and cultural heritage material that exists in analogue formats, which may include books, manuscripts, music scores, maps, photographs, videos, analogue tapes, and phonograph records. In order to achieve this goal, libraries, museums, and archives throughout the world, large or small, need well-researched policies, proper guidance, and efficient tools to digitize their collections and to make them available economically. The research conducted within the program addresses unique and imminent challenges posed by the digitization and dissemination of music media. In this talk various research currently conducted at our laboratory will be presented, including optical music recognition, workflow management for automatic metadata extraction of LP recordings, Networked Environment for Music Analysis (NEMA), creation of ground truth for music structural and chord analysis, and evaluation of digitization methods for analogue recordings.
