ASyMMuS Workshop on Audio-Symbolic Music Similarity Modelling

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.

For more information on the workshop, including programme, registration, and venue information, please visit the workshop webpage.
