Intelligent Audio Systems: Foundations and Applications of Music Information Retrieval

Logistics

Abstract

How would you "Google for audio", provide music recommendations based on your MP3 files, or have a computer "listen" and understand what you are playing?

This workshop will teach such underlying ideas, approaches, technologies, and practical design of intelligent audio systems using music information retrieval (MIR) algorithms.

MIR is a highly interdisciplinary field bridging the domains of digital audio signal processing, pattern recognition, software system design, and machine learning. Simply put, MIR algorithms allow a computer to listen to, understand, and make sense of audio data such as MP3s in a personal music collection, live streaming audio, or gigabytes of sound effects, in an effort to reduce the semantic gap between high-level musical information and low-level audio data. In the same way that listeners can recognize the characteristics of sound and music -- tempo, key, chord progressions, genre, or song structure -- MIR algorithms are capable of recognizing and extracting this information, enabling systems to sort, search, recommend, tag, and transcribe music, possibly in real time.

This workshop is intended for students, researchers, and industry audio engineers who are unfamiliar with the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR). We will demonstrate exciting technologies enabled by the fusion of basic signal processing techniques with machine learning and pattern recognition. Lectures will cover topics such as low-level feature extraction, generation of higher-level features such as chord estimations, audio similarity clustering, search, and retrieval techniques, and design and evaluation of machine classification systems. The presentations will be applied, multimedia-rich, overview of the building blocks of modern MIR systems. Our goal is to make the understanding and application of highly-interdisciplinary technologies and complex algorithms approachable.

Knowledge of basic digital audio principles is required. Familiarity with Python is desired but not required. Students are highly encouraged to bring their own audio source material for course labs and demonstrations.

Workshop Structure: The workshop will consist of half-day lectures, half-day supervised lab sessions, demonstrations, and discussions. Labs will allow students to design basic ground-up "intelligent audio systems", leveraging existing MIR toolboxes, programming environments, and applications. Labs will include creation and evaluation of basic instrument recognition, transcription, and audio analysis systems.

  • Extract CAL 500 per-song features to .mat or .csv using features from today. This will be used on lab for Friday. Copy it from the folder ccrma-gate.stanford.edu:/usr/ccrma/workshops/mir2011/cal500.tar (beware it's a 2Gb .tar file!) or grab the AIFF versions from ccrma-gate.stanford.edu:/usr/ccrma/workshops/mir2011/cal500_aiffs.tar (that's 16 GB)
