ISMIR 2006 - Day 2


The lecture hall
Another great day at ISMIR - lots of great talks on classification, chord and key estimation, databases & algorithms and transcription/separation. One of the highlights for me (because it relates so directly to what I've been working on) was Michael Casey and Malcom Slaney's paper on Song Intersection by Approximate nearest neighbor search.  Michael and Malcom introduces LSH (locality-specific hashes) to the MIR community. LSH can be used to solve the approximate nearest neighbor problem - in sublinear time.

Another highlight at the conference has been the food.  Lots of food, plenty of it  ... and apparently according to George T we can sit down while we eat if we want.


Lunch time

Some interesting posters and demonstrations today:

Ajay Kapur demonstrated human/robot performance.


Human/Robotic musical performance

Audrey Laplant had an excellent poster about the music seeking behaviors of young adults.  I'm hoping to talk to her more about what her findings imply about  how we should be designing music interfaces.

Elias Pampalk was showing a very clever interface for exploring a personal music collection. (note to Joan - Elias was using 'processing' to build his interface).


Elias give a demo

All in all, it was a good day, and I wish I had time to write more .... at the end of it all, some folks had some fun making music too.


After hours music
