	Report on the Third International Conference on Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR 2002): 14 - 17 October 2002, Paris, ...
		Encouraged by the NSF to organize a workshop on music information retrieval, and helped along by a University of Massachusetts proposal that was funded to accomplish this, the first ISMIR Conference took place October 2000 in Plymouth, Massachusetts in the US.
		The opening keynote, entitled "Variations on the Theme of Musical Similarity", was given by Douglas Hofstadter, Professor of Cognitive Science, and Director of the Center for Research on Concepts and Cognition, Indiana University.
		Nevertheless, because MIR is a discipline that draws from a broad cross-section, there was an opportunity to learn a great deal from the papers presented by authors from different types of organizations and research specialties.

	Music information retrieval is a new and growing field of study
		Music information retrieval is a new and growing field of study.
		Digital music representation was less varied as retrieval, but had the second highest overall number of articles.
		The results of studying citation data on articles relating music and audio information retrieval point to 3 principle areas of research: music retrieval, representation, and classification.

	International Symposium on Music Information Retrieval (MUSIC IR 2001)
		This is not surprising: music IR has the potential for a wide variety of applications in the educational and academic domains as well as for entertainment.
		Music in this context is not restricted to a particular genre (monophonic, polyphonic, non-Western, microtonal, polyrhythmic, etc.) nor to a particular encoding or representation (sheet music, MIDI, recorded vocal and/or electroacoustic music, etc.).
		David Cope is a composer, music theorist, and professor of music at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

	Cognitive Issues and Approaches in Music Information Retrieval
		Traditionally, musical information has been retrieved via standard reference information such as the name of the composer or the title of the work.
		Musical works or passages appear to be readily characterizable in terms of these two dimensions.
		Specifically, prototypical musical passages should tend to be (1) more easily recalled by listeners from one day to the next, and (2) generate false-positive recognition responses (i.e., listeners should incorrectly claim to have heard the passage before, having been exposed to other excerpts from the same work).

	ISMIR 2006 - 7th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval
		The 7th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval, ISMIR 2006, will be held at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada, from Sunday October 8th to Thursday October 12th, 2006.
		It reflects the tremendous growth of music-related data available either locally or remotely and the consequent need to search this content and retrieve music and musical information efficiently and effectively.
		ISMIR therefore aims to provide a place for the exchange of news, issues, and results, by bringing together researchers and developers, educators and librarians, students and professional users, working in fields that contribute to this multidisciplinary domain, to present original theoretical or practical work.

	Perceptual and Cognitive Applications in Music Information Retrieval
		Music librarians and cataloguers have traditionally created indexes that allow users to access musical works using standard reference information, such as the name of the composer or the title of the work.
		In the case of proprietary musical databases, the second problem can be centrally managed, and perhaps addressed using manual methods.
		Not all portions of a musical work are equally representative of a given piece, and so the practice of extracting the initial few seconds (incipit) is not optimum for identifying or recognizing a work.

	Downie, Evaluating a Simple Approach to Music Information Retrieval (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		We believe that there is enough information contained within an interval-only representation of monophonic melodies that effective retrieval of music information has been achieved.
		N-grams form discrete units of melodic information much in the same manner as words are discrete units of language.
		Thus, we have come to consider them "musical words." This implies that, for the purposes of music information retrieval, we can treat them as "real words" and thereby apply traditional text-based information retrieval techniques.

		Music Information Retrieval 101 is being held prior to the main International Conference on Music Information meeting so newcomers to MIR research can gain a stronger appreciation of the papers, posters and demos that will be presented.
		The main objective of this tutorial is to provide an overview of the current status of music information retrieval (MIR) for audio signals.
		An important part of the intended audience would consist of researchers who have a background in symbolic MIR and/or musicology and music cognition and are interested to learn more about the similarities/differences of audio MIR to their respective fields.

		The service aims to provide seamless access to music and music information resources, in multiple formats, from custodians across all cultural sectors.
		In the future, digital content developed to populate the service could be subjected to Music Information Retrieval applications, to further enrich understanding of Australian music.
		The paper finishes by examining the challenges of achieving these advanced services in an environment where MIR research is relatively undeveloped.

	Call for participation: SIGIR'99 Music Info Retrieval Workshop
		This workshop is intended to bring together Music Information Retrieval (MIR) researchers; Information Retrieval (IR) researchers; computer scientists; musicologists; music bibiliographers; music, digital, and general librarians; and, music providers and music industry members; in the first-ever forum exclusively devoted to issues pertaining to MIR.
		It appears that one reason for the sparseness of the MIR literature is that the various MIR research teams are operating autonomously.
		Stephen Downie is a faculty member at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he teaches and conducts research in the areas of Music Information Retrieval (MIR), traditional IR, informetrics, Internet service management, indexing and abstracting, digital libraries, and information organization and access.

		Abstract: In order to represent musical content, pitch and timing information is utilized in the majority of existing work in Symbolic Music Information Retrieval (MIR).
		Symbolic representations such as MIDI allow the easy calculation of such information and its manipulation.
		In contrast, most of the existing work in Audio MIR uses timbral and beat information, which can be calculated using automatic computer audition techniques.

		It is common for music collections to contain hundreds of ripped CDs and thousands of downloaded MP3 files, translating into gigabytes of stored music.
		Researchers in the area of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) are designing retrieval mechanisms and systems to aid in searching and organizing music.
		MIR systems are concerned with techniques and mechanisms for representing music queries, searching collections of music for possible matches, and retrieving results that best match user queries.

		At the centre of this map is a large ‘methodological commons’ of computational techniques shared among the disciplines of the humanities and closely related social sciences: e.g.
		To the extent these algorithms are successful, they importantly identify mechanical elements in the analysis of data as well as allow large quantities of data to be processed and the specified patterns in them found.
		These leaks would point the way to further research: to the idea of musical patterns and primitives, to surprising occurrences of them where not expected, perhaps to new ideas in the evolution of music from one's observations of where the patterns work and break.

		Abstract: The two descriptors most often used in music information retrieval (MIR) are pitch interval and note duration.
		We introduce a method combining the two in a single value called the interval slope (IS).
		However, when representing music with an IS sequence, one only obtains invariance under transpositions.
