The revolution = in music distribution and storage brought about by digital technology = has fueled tremendous research activities and interests in academia as = well as in industry. The ISMIR Conference reflects this rapid = development by providing a meeting place for the discussion of = MIR-related research, developments, methods, tools and experimental = results. Its main goal is to foster multidisciplinary exchange by = bringing together researchers and developers, educators and librarians, = as well as students and professional users. ISMIR 2012 will feature introductory and in-depth tutorials oral and poster presentations of research papers=20 invited talks reflecting the true interdisciplinary nature of MIR = research a late-break/demo session a music programme -----PAPERS----- ISMIR 2012 welcomes paper submissions for oral or poster presentation in = the (non-exclusive) areas of: content-based querying and retrieval database systems, indexing and query fingerprinting and digital rights management music transcription and annotation music signal processing sound source separation in music signals score following, audio alignment and music synchronization optical music recognition melody and motives rhythm, beat, tempo and form harmony, chords and tonality timbre, instrumentation and voice performance analysis modification and transformation of music data computational musicology music perception and cognition emotion and aesthetics applications of MIR to the performing arts and multimedia automatic classification genre, style and mood analysis similarity metrics music summarization user interfaces and user models music recommendation and playlist generation text and web mining knowledge representation, social tags and metadata libraries, archives and digital collections evaluation and annotation issues methodological and philosophical issues social, legal, ethical and business issues applications to traditional/folk/ethnic music To ensure a high quality of the contributions, all papers will go = through a double-blind selection process with at least three reviewers = per submission.=20 Paper submissions must be no more than 6 pages long when formatted with = the conference template, and in PDF. Accepted papers will be designated = by the Program Committee to be presented either as posters or as = lectures. All accepted papers have the same status, assignment as poster = or lecture is not indicative of the relevance or potential impact but on = the type of content and way to better reach the intended audience. More details on http://ismir2012.ismir.net/authors/submission#paper -----MUSIC----- ISMIR 2012 welcomes submissions of musical works for selection and = possible inclusion in the conference's concert programme. We = particularly encourage works that explore the notion of music = information in the widest sense of the term. As the use of technology in = music creation develops across composition and performance practices, = structured data plays an increasingly important role in the processing = of musical materials, their analysis and their manifestation in a live = environment. =46rom the use of timbral analysis in spectral music to the = design of live improvisation systems, the handling of information is = critical to the role technology plays in music.=20 The aim of ISMIR 2012 concert programme is two-fold: to encourage the = use of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) techniques in the creation of = new music and to explore music that can suggest novel ideas for research = in the MIR =EF=AC=81eld.=20 The music programme in the conference will be centred around two curated = concerts. Professional musicians will be available to perform the = pieces. Submitted musical works will go through a selection process by the = conference music chairs and music curators. More details on http://ismir2012.ismir.net/music/ -----TUTORIALS----- The first day of ISMIR 2012 will consist of parallel sessions of = tutorials, each lasting three hours and concentrating on a single topic. = The tutorials are intended to provide a stimulating coverage of that = topic appealing to a general audience. More details on http://ismir2012.ismir.net/authors/submission#tutorial -----LATE-BREAK/DEMOS----- As in previous years, ISMIR 2012 will also include a special track for = demos and late-breaking news, with a later deadline than the main = paper/poster track. Demos consist of live, hands-on presentations of = working software which incorporate MIR algorithms or are relevant to MIR = research. Late-breaking news are quite the opposite: unpolished, = not-quite-understood-yet puzzles and findings that may barely hold = together, but are guaranteed to foster debate and discussion. Both are = things better interacted with than lectured about.=20 While recent years have seen a majority of submissions in the demo = category, we will endeavor to reach a better balance of both types of = submission this year. In particular, we envision to differentiate the = presentation format for demos and late-breaking news - the former, in = the walk-around exhibition style that has been successful at previous = ISMIRs; the latter, in a more participative, un-conference style. = Details will be posted at a later date.=20 Both types of submissions will consist of extended abstracts of 1-2 = pages, which will be peer-reviewed in a double-blind manner by members = of the programme committee like the submissions for the main paper = track. In the case of demo submissions, abstracts should describe what = the typical user scenario will be as well as the technical requirements = for the presentation. In the case of late-breaking news, abstracts = should make the case of why the result is inspirational and topical for = the MIR community. More details on http://ismir2012.ismir.net/authors/submission#latebreak -----SPECIAL SESSION "MIRrors: Looking back to the past of ISMIR to face = the future of MIR"----- What is MIRrors? ISMIR 2012 will feature a special session on "Looking back to the past = of ISMIR to face the future of MIR", (the "MIRrors" session) in which = authors will present reflections on the evolution of the MIR field or a = particular MIR topic since 2000, and provide insights on short-term = future challenges. We are looking for provocative, controversial ideas, challenging and = thought-provocative positional papers. For instance, MIRrors papers may:=20 Reflect on why a particular topic has failed, is systematically not = improving, and why it may be doomed to continue this way. Reflect on negative results that have, or have not, had the proper = impact on MIR research. Retrieve/revisit some forgotten or scarcely cited papers or promising = idea(s) from a particular edition of the conference, or a number of = editions, whose potential has not been fully exploited. Remind, recover, revisit what was presented on a given edition of the = ISMIR conference, highlighting the best or most significant = contributions. Trace and explain the evolution of a given idea through different = editions of ISMIR. Provide a review of the impact of a particular idea on the MIR = community. Provide a review of the impact of a particular MIR idea/topic on other = conferences or neighboring fields of science (e.g. including a technical = review in terms of h-index). Propose replication studies, in particular showing discrepancies = between commonly accepted ideas in the MIR community and reality. ... Participating to the MIRrors session The MIRrors session consists of *invited* submissions. Nevertheless, researchers are invited to express their interest in = participating to the MIRrors session by submitting an abstract of no = more than 200 words to <ismir2012-papers@xxxxxxxx>. (Note the *very = early deadline* for expressions of interest. Expressions of interest = reaching the Committee after this deadline, or longer than the word = limit will not be considered.) Selected authors will then be individually invited by the Committee to = submit a paper to be reviewed for possible inclusion in the session (see = dates below). The submitted papers will be reviewed by 3 referees. This call applies both to PhD students reviewing the state-of-the-art = for their thesis as well as seasoned researchers.=20 Format Paper submissions (only for invited authors) should comply with the = regular ISMIR paper format. Papers should be 6 pages-long at most. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. Accepted papers will be online 1 month before the conference, and will = be presented at the conference in short talks, leaving plenty of room = for discussion. Special Issue A selection of papers from the MIRrors session will be considered for = inclusion, together with a regular set of submissions for a special = issue of an international journal on the topic of "Current status and = future directions in MIR research". This special issue is intended to = appear after ISMIR 2012 and to also comprise papers not presented at the = conference.
