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 Submissions: ------------ Papers of 4-6 printed pages must be in English and must be formatted according to the Springer-Verlag Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence guidelines. Authors instructions and style files can be found in the workshop webpage. Papers should include author names, affiliations, contact information, and an abstract of 70-120 words. Papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the Workshop Committee. Contributions should be in PDF format and submitted to the workshop email address mml@xxxxxxxx Dates: ------ Submission deadline: June 14, 2009. Acceptance notification: June 30, 2009. Final versions due: July 8, 2009. Workshop: September 7, 2009.
