More about the conference:
The 8th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval will be
held at the Vienna University of Technology in Vienna, Austria, from
Sunday, September 23rd to Thursday, September 27th, 2007. The annual
ISMIR Conference is the established international forum for those
working on accessing digital musical material. It reflects the
tremendous recent growth of available music-related data and the
consequent need to search within it to retrieve music and musical
information efficiently and effectively. These concerns are of interest
to academia, industry, entertainment, and education. ISMIR therefore
aims to provide a place for the exchange and discussion 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.
ISMIR 2007 will start with four Tutorials in specific domains on Sunday,
September 23rd, 2007:
- Tutorial 1: Synchronization and Matching Techniques for Music Data (Meinard Müller and Roger B. Dannenberg)
- Tutorial 2: Music Recommendation (Oscar Celma and Paul Lamere)
- Tutorial 3: Introduction to MIRToolbox (Olivier Lartillot)
- Tutorial
4: Techniques for Implementing the Generative Theory of Tonal
Music (Keiji Hirata, Satoshi Tojo and Masatoshi Hamanaka)
The Technical Programme features plenary sessions with talks on
theoretical and practical work on Music Information Retrieval (MIR)
topics such as music analysis, segmentation and classification,
knowledge representation, MIR systems and interfaces, musicology, social
aspects and human factors. ISMIR 2007 received 214 submissions, of which
34 were accepted as long papers, 28 as short papers, and 67 as posters.
Each paper was reviewed by at least 3 reviewers and a meta-reviewer
(Programme Committee member). The full list of accepted papers is
available at: http://ismir2007.ismir.net/papers.html
The Technical Programme will be complemented by poster sessions which
give researchers an opportunity to present new work and ideas in an
interactive setting, as well as a dedicated session on MIREX, the 2007
Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange.
The Social Programme of ISMIR 2007 will start with an Ice Breaking Event
after the Tutorials on Sunday, September 23rd. The official Reception
takes place at the Imperial Palace on Monday, September 24th and
includes a visit of the collection of ancient music instruments. The
Banquet will take place on Tuesday, September 25th at the City Hall of
Vienna.
