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
