ASyMMuS Workshop on Audio-Symbolic Music Similarity Modelling
8 July 2015, 10:00 – 15:30
Foyle Suite, Centre for Conservation
British Library
Introduction
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 infrastructure, 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.
Registration
The workshop is open to researchers at all levels in the fields of music information retrieval, musicology (particularly, but not exclusively, those with interest in computational and systematic musicology), music cognition, data science (with interest in music), and other related fields.
Registration is now closed.
