Spezielle Kapitel aus Informatik: Music
Information Retrieval
344.301, KV, 3h - 4.5
ECTS, SS 2012
Ass.Prof.
Dr. Markus Schedl
Time: Thursday, 13:45 - 16:15
Start: March 8, 2012
Location: KG 712
The lecture will be taught in English or German
(depending on students' requirements).
Goals
This lecture gives an introduction to
techniques and applications used
in Music Information Retrieval. The main topics covered are feature extraction (content- and
context-based features), similarity
measurement, applications of
MIR, data projection and
visualization, and user
interfaces.
There will be a strong focus on the pratical part of the KV in the
summer term 2012. We will perform a small contest as follows.
Participating students will form groups and select one type of
context-based similarity category (for example, music similarities
derived from Web pages, from P2P network traffic or queries, from
co-occurrences in user's playlist). Then, different
approaches and algorithms to determine music similarity will be
re-implemented (according to literature that will largely be provided
by the lecturer). The implementations of all groups will be evaluated
on a standardized data set (tuning will be allowed), and a winning team
will be awarded.
