Call for papers

MML 2009: 2nd International Workshop on Machine Learning and Music
http://www.iua.upf.edu/~rramirez/MML09/

Held in conjunction with ECML-PKDD 2009, The European Conference on Machine
Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases
Bled, Slovenia
September 7, 2009

Research on machine learning and music is gaining increasing popularity 
due to the
rapid expansion of music in audio formats, increasing availability of 
social music
tagging data, and the ongoing musicological interest in mining of 
symbolic music
data.  As complexity of the problems investigated by researchers on this 
area
increases, there is a need to develop new algorithms and methods to 
solve these
problems. Machine learning has proved to provide efficient solutions to 
many
music-related problems. The goal of MML 2008 is to bring together 
researchers who
are using machine learning in musical applications, providing the 
opportunity to
promote, present and discuss ongoing work in the area. The workshop is 
planned to
last one full day, and will feature paper presentations, panel 
discussions and open
discussions.

We invite contributions describing machine learning approaches to music 
processing
including, but not limited to:

Sound synthesis and analysis
Pattern discovery in music
Computational musicology
Folk song analysis and classification
Music genre classification
Music analysis
Music Information Retrieval
Knowledge Representation and Computational Models
Psychoacoustics and Music Perception
Cognitive Modeling
Adaptive Systems and Music Education
Algorithmic Composition
Interactive Performance Systems
Digital Audio Signal Processing
