Project Summary and Motivation
Music Information Processing (also known as Music Information Research; MIR)
involves the use of information processing methodologies to understand and
model music, and to develop products and services for creation, distribution
and interaction with music and music-related information.
MIR has reached a state of maturity where there are standard methods for most
music information processing tasks, but as these have been developed and
tested on small datasets, the methods tend to be neither robust to different
musical styles or use contexts, nor scalable to industrial scale datasets.
To meet this need, and to train a new generation of researchers who
are aware of, and can tackle, these challenges, we bring together leading
MIR groups and a wide range of industrial and cultural stakeholders to
create a multidisciplinary, transnational and cross-sectoral European
Training Network for MIR researchers, in order to contribute to Europe's
leading role in this field of scientific innovation, and accelerate the
impact of innovation on European products and industry.
The researchers will develop breadth in the fields that make
up MIR and in transferable skills, whilst gaining deep knowledge and skills
in their own area of speciality. They will learn to perform collaborative
research, and to think entrepreneurially and exploit their research in new
ways that benefit European industry and society.
The proposed work is structured along three research frontiers identified
as requiring intensive attention and integration (data-driven,
knowledge-driven, and user-driven approaches), and will be guided by and
grounded in real application needs by a unique set of industrial and
cultural stakeholders in the consortium, which range from
consumer electronics companies and big players in media entertainment
to innovative SMEs, cultural institutions, and even a famous opera house,
thus encompassing a very wide spectrum of the digital music world.
