Music Systems and Applications A Special Issue of the ACM Transactions on Intelligent Systems and Technology |
| With
the advent of music information retrieval (MIR), intelligent
technologies have become an essential part of music systems and
applications. This is evidenced by today’s omnipresence of digital
online music stores and streaming services, which rely on music
recommenders, automatic playlist generators, and music browsing
interfaces. A large amount of MIR research leading to intelligent music
applications deals with the extraction of musical and acoustic
information directly from the audio signal using signal processing
techniques. Other strategies exploit contextual aspects of music, not
present in the signal, for example, community meta-data and trails of
user interaction, as found, for instance, on social media platforms.
Recently, also user-centric aspects are being considered, such as
affect, personality, and user context. Intelligent music systems have
also been developed as music creation tools, in which case the modeling
of a composer's preferences or of genre/stylistic features are required. |
Call for Papers
| This special issue addresses all aspects of music information, i.e., music content, context, and user aspects.
