Notification of acceptance Background Music is a complex human phenomenon,
motivating researchers to develop a
wide variety of models to understand it. Scholars have been
developing and revising
musical models for more than two thousand years, ranging from
the intervallic
theories of Pythagoras to the models for large-scale music data
mining used at
music intelligence companies such as Spotify and Deezer.
Different types of models
have been developed to suit different academic purposes,
including a number of
cognitive models (Deutsch & Feroe, 1981; Koelsch, 2011;
Lerdahl &
Jackendoff, 1983; Narmour, 1992; Peretz & Coltheart, 2003)
and a number of
computational models of music cognition (Wiggins, Pearce, &
Müllensiefen,
2009; Temperley, 2007; Honing, 2006), and at times, partisans of
one model have
criticized alternative models for the ways in which they are
inevitably wrong
or inadequate. The study of music cognition has been a
notable flashpoint in these debates,
specifically whether ‘cognitive’ or ‘computational’ models are
most appropriate
and where to draw the boundary between them (Volk & Honingh,
JMM special
issue 2012). Such polemics may well have resulted in missed
collaborations
among researchers with the common goal of understanding the
mechanisms
underlying music cognition. This workshop aims to uncover new
areas where cognitive
models and computational models of music cognition could profit
from one
another, promoting a better understanding of music as a human
phenomenon and
improving the communication between music cognitive and
computational
scientists. This workshop will feature keynote
presentations, tutorials on computational
and cognitive modelling (by the keynote speakers), and oral
presentations. We
welcome submissions for oral presentations (see submission
guidelines). Keynote
