With the current explosion and quick expansion of music in digital formats,= =20 research on machine learning and music is gaining increasing popularity. As= =20 complexity of the problems investigated by researchers on this area increas= es,=20 there is a need to develop new algorithms and methods to solve these proble= ms.=20 Machine learning has proved to provide efficient solutions to many=20 music-related problems both of academic and commercial interest. The goal o= f=20 MML 2008 is to bring together researchers who are using machine learning in= =20 musical applications, providing the opportunity to promote, present and dis= cuss=20 ongoing work in the area. The workshop is planned to last one full day, and= =20 will feature paper presentations, panel discussions and open discussions.= =20 Accepted contributions will be available from the workshop web page as soon= as=20 possible in order to encourage active discussion during the workshop. We invite extended abstract contributions describing machine learning=20 approaches to music processing including, but not limited to: * Sound Synthesis and Analysis * Music Classification and Generation * Formal Music Analysis * Music Information Retrieval * Knowledge Representation and Computational Models * Printing and Optical Recognition of Music * Psychoacoustics and Music Perception * Cognitive Modeling * Aesthetics, Philosophy and Criticism of Music * Adaptive Systems and Music Education * Algorithmic Composition * Interactive Performance Systems * Digital Audio Signal Processing * Software and Hardware Systems Submissions: ------------ Extended abstracts of 1-2 printed pages in two-column ICML format are welco= me.=20 Extended abstracts should include author names, affiliations, contact=20 information, and an abstract of 70-120 words. Papers will be reviewed by a= t=20 least two members of the Workshop Committee. Contributions should be in PDF= =20 format and submitted to the workshop email address mml@xxxxxxxx Journal publication: extended versions of selected abstracts will be publis= hed=20 in a special issue of Intelligent Data Analysis Journal.
