It hosts composers, researchers and students from many=20 countries cooperating in contemporary music production, scientific and=20 applied research. The main topics addressed in its R&D department=20 include acoustics, audio signal processing, computer music, interaction=20 technologies, musicology. Ircam is located in the centre of Paris near=20 the Centre Pompidou, at 1, Place Igor Stravinsky 75004 Paris. =20 *Introduction to Quaero project* Quaero is a 200 MEUR collaborative research and development program=20 focusing on the areas of automatic extraction of information, analysis,=20 classification and usage of digital multimedia content for professionals=20 and consumers. The research work shall concentrate on managing virtually=20 unlimited quantities of multimedia and multilingual information,=20 including text, speech, music, image and video. Five main application=20 areas have been identified by the partners: 1. multimedia internet search 2. enhanced access services to audiovisual content on portals 3. personalized video selection and distribution 4. professional audiovisual asset management 5. digitalization and enrichment of library content, audiovisual=20 cultural heritage and scientific information. The Quaero consortium was created to meet new multimedia content=20 analysis requirements for consumers and professionals, faced with the=20 explosion of accessible digital information and the proliferation of=20 access means (PC, TV, handheld devices). More information can be found=20 at www.quaero.org/. * Role of Ircam in Quaero Project* In the Quaero project, Ircam is in charge of the coordination of=20 audio/music indexing research and of development of music-audio indexing=20 technology: music content-description (tempo, rhythm, key, chord,=20 singing-voice, and instrumentation description), automatic indexing=20 (music genre/style, mood), music similarity, music audio summary, chorus=20 detection and audio identification. A specificity of the project is the=20 creation of a large-music-audio corpus in order to train and validate=20 all the algorithms developed during the project. * Position description* Researchers would be in charge of the development of the technologies=20 related to =B7 music-audio content description/ content-extraction: tempo an= d=20 beat/measure position estimation, key/mode, chord progression,=20 instrument/drum identification, singing voice location, voice description =B7 music automatic indexing into music genre, music mood =B7 music similarity: especially on large-scale databases =B7 music structure discovery, automatic music audio summary=20 generation, chorus location Researcher will also collaborate with the evaluation team who evaluate=20 algorithms performances and with the developer team. * Required profile* =B7 Very high skills in audio signal processing (spectral=20 analysis, audio-feature extraction, parameter estimation) =B7 High skill in audio indexing and data mining (statistical=20 modelling, automatic feature selection algorithm, ...) =B7 High-skill in large-database search algorithms =B7 Good knowledge of Linux, Windows, MAC-OS environments =B7 High-skill in Matlab programming, skills in C/C++ programming =B7 High productivity, methodical work, excellent programming sty= le. *=20 Salary* According to background and experience *Applications* Please send an application letter together with your resume and any=20 suitable information addressing the above issues preferably by email to:=20 *peeters_a_t_ircam dot fr *with cc to* vinet_a_t_ircam dot fr,=20 rod_a_t_ircam_dot_fr <mailto:rod@xxxxxxxx>, roebel_at_ircam_dot_fr* * * * _______________________________________________________________________= _______ * * L'Ircam recrute deux Chercheurs H/F -- en CDD de 18 mois et =E0 temps=20 plein* *Poste disponible =E0 partir du 1^er avril 2010 * * Pr=E9sentation de l'Ircam* L'Ircam est une association =E0 but non-lucratif, associ=E9e au Centre=20 National d'Art et de Culture Georges Pompidou, dont les missions=20 comprennent des activit=E9s de recherche, de cr=E9ation et de p=E9dagogie= =20 autour de la musique du XX=E8me si=E8cle et de ses relations avec les=20 sciences et technologies.
