2nd Call for Papers - New dates
Journal of New Music Research
Special Issue on Music and Machine Learning
Guest editors Rafael Ramirez and Darrell Conklin
Machine learning has permeated nearly every area of music informatics, driven by
the explosion of music in audio digital formats, the steady increase in size and
availability of symbolic corpora, and the design and application of powerful
machine learning algorithms for music.
To provide a collection of the highest quality work in machine learning and
music, the prestigious Journal of New Music Research will host a Special Issue
on Music and Machine Learning to appear in 2011.
Topics
We invite contributions describing machine learning approaches to music processing
including, but not limited to:
Music Classification
Music Generation
Sound Synthesis and Analysis
Formal Music Analysis
Computational Musicology / Ethnomusicology
Music Knowledge Representation and Machine Learning
Psychoacoustics and Music Perception
Aesthetics, Philosophy and Criticism of Music
Algorithmic Composition
Interactive Performance Systems
Digital Audio Signal Processing
Cover Song Detection
Expressive Music Performance
Harmonic Analysis
Chord Extraction from Audio
Submissions must provide a thorough background on the music problem under study,
a sufficient description of the machine learning method employed, including
algorithmic aspects where appropriate, and a strong evaluation of results. We
welcome submissions employing either symbolic or audio data, and also encourage
methods that bridge the symbolic/audio junction.
Submissions
Submissions must be submitted through the Journal's Manuscript Central
Site (not to the editors directly). On the Manuscript Type menu, authors should
indicate "SI - Music and Machine Learning".
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/nnmr
Submissions should be roughly 6,000 words in length. This translates roughly to
16 pages using latex fullpage/12pt/a4paper/doublespacing. To be considered for
the Special Issue, submissions must be received no later than November 1, 2010.
Important dates
* November 1, 2010 deadline for manuscript submission
* January 15, 2011 responses to authors
* April 1, 2011 camera ready papers due
* 2nd half 2011 Special Issue in print
Questions and queries regarding the suitability of topics/research to the Special
Issue should be directed to the Guest Editors:
