ISMIR Conference Program
The detailed conference program for ISMIR 2008 has
been posted. It is pretty interesting to see all of the sessions for
the week laid out. If you are speaking you can find out if you lucky
enough to be the first speaker of the conference on Monday morning, or
the last speaker of the conference on Thursday.
From this program we learn that there are two invited speakers this
year at ISMIR: Dmitri Tymoczko of Princeton University is speaking about
the Geometry of Consonance, and Jeanne Bamberger of MIT/UC Berkeley gives the keynote: Human Music Retrieval: Noting Time.
There is also an 'Invited Panel Discussion' on commercial music
discovery and recommendation (but no mention as to who will be on the
panel).
