The 3rd
International
Workshop on Advances in Music Information Research (AdMIRe 2011) will
serve as a forum for
theoretical and practical discussions of cutting edge research in the
fields of Web mining
for music information extraction, retrieval, and
recommendation as well as in mobile applications and services.
Research
on multimodal
extraction, retrieval, and presentation with a focus on
the music and
audio domain is especially welcome, as well as submissions
addressing
concrete implementations of systems and services by both academic
institutions and industrial companies. Music information retrieval (MIR) as a subfield of multimedia information retrieval has been a fast growing field of research during the past decade. In traditional MIR research, music-related information were extracted from the audio signal using signal processing techniques. These methods, however, cannot capture semantic information not encoded in the audio signal, but nonetheless essential to many consumers, e.g., the meaning of the lyrics of a song or the political motivation or background of a singer. In recent years, the emergence of various Web 2.0 platforms and services dedicated to the music and audio domain, like last.fm, MusicBrainz, or echonest, has provided novel and powerful, albeit noisy, sources for high level, semantic information on music artists, albums, songs, and others. The abundance of such information provided by the power of the crowd can therefore contribute to MIR research and development considerably. On the other hand, the wealth of newly available, semantically meaningful information offered on Web 2.0 platforms also poses new challenges, e.g., dealing with the huge amount and the noisiness of this kind of data, various user biases, hacking, or the cold start problem. Another recent trend, not at last addressable to platforms like Apple's iPhone or Google's Android, are intelligent user interfaces to access the large amounts of music usually available on today's mobile music players. Mobile devices that offer high speed Web access allow for even more music to be consumed via Web services. Dealing with these vast amounts of music requires intelligent services on mobile devices that provide, for example, personalized and context-aware music recommendations. The current emergence and confluence of these challenges make this an interesting field for researchers and industry practitioners alike. |
Call for Papers
AdMIRe
2011 solicits regular
technical papers of up to 6
pages following the ICME author guidelines. The
proceedings of
the workshop
will be published as
part of the IEEE ICME 2011
main conference proceedings and will be
indexed by IEEE Xplore.
Papers
must be original
and not submitted to or accepted by any other
conference or journal. Moreover, we will seek opportunities to publish
extended versions of particularly
outstanding
papers in a journal related to the field. All submissions to this workshop will be peer-reviewed by at least three Program Committee members. The review process will be double-blind. |
