CS891 Special Lecture: Music Information Retrieval (MIR)
- Time: 8/6-8/8 (W-F), 8/11-8/12 (M-T), 10AM - 5PM

Course Info: This course will cover various topics from
low-level signal
processing techniques for feature extraction from audio to machine
learning algorithms for high-level musical metadata extraction in
Music Information Retrieval systems. The program will focus on
several tasks active in the MIR society such as tempo/beat tracking,
melody/harmony extraction, music similarity and retrieval, cover song
identification, and so on. We will also touch on structural analysis
including music segmentation and summarization. The focus will be made
on the raw audio processing, but symbolic data processing will also be
discussed. Frequent references will be made to the rich literature
found in the Proceedings of ISMIR (International Symposium on Music
Information Retrieval), IEEE ICASSP (International Conference on
Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing), and other related
proceedings/journals.
The course will consist of half-day lectures followed by half-day
supervised lab sessions, when the participants will be implementing
algorithms in MATLAB.
*Prerequisites: familiarity with MATLAB, introductory knowledge of
digital signal processing
