13th International Workshop on

Machine Learning and Music

September 18, 2020

Held in conjunction with ECML-PKDD 2020

MML 2020 Call for Papers

Background

 

Machine learning and artificial intelligence have permeated nearly every area of music informatics, driven by a profusion of recordings available in digital audio formats, steady improvements to the accessibility and quality of symbolic corpora, availability of powerful algorithms in standard machine learning toolboxes, and theoretical advances in machine learning and data mining. As the complexity of the problems investigated by researchers on machine learning and music increases, there is a need to develop new algorithms and methods. As a consequence, research on machine learning and music is an active and growing field reflected in international meetings. MML 2020 is the 13th edition of the International Workshops on Machine Learning and Music (MML): 2008 (ICML, Helsinki, Finland), 2009 (ECML, Bled, Slovenia), 2010 (ACM-MM, Florence, Italy), 2011 (NIPS, Sierra Nevada, Spain), 2012 (ICML, Edinburgh, Scotland), 2013 (ECML/PKDD, Prague, Czech Republic), 2014 (Barcelona, Spain), 2015 (ISEA, Vancouver, Canada), 2016 (ECML/PKDD, Riva del Garda, Italy), 2017 (Barcelona, Spain), 2018 (ICML, Stockholm, Sweden), and 2019 (ECML, Würzburg, Germany).

 

The expected outcome of the workshop is to promote fruitful multidisciplinary collaboration among researchers who are using machine learning techniques in musical applications, by providing the opportunity to discuss ongoing work in the area. The expected attendees are active researchers in machine learning and music who have special interest in content-based music processing. 

 

Topics


Papers in all applications on music and machine learning are welcome, including but not limited to

 

  • Automatic classification of music (audio and MIDI) 

  • Style-based interpreter recognition
