ASyMMuS Workshop on Audio-Symbolic Music Similarity Modelling

8 July 2015, 10:00 – 15:30
Foyle Suite, Centre for Conservation
British Library

The AHRC funded project on An Integrated Audio-Symbolic Model of Music Similarity (ASyMMuS) aims to integrate aspects of audio and symbolic representations, such as scores or MIDI data, in a joint model. By building on the Digital Music Lab structure, the project’s aim is to promote a data driven approach to music similarity. This workshop will bring together researchers with different approaches to promote discussions on what constitutes and what contributes to music similarity.
