Papers on user acceptance of recommender systems may be prepared for the special issue of the Journal of Personalization Research. The deadline for extended abstract submission is February 1, 2014.
For further details see http://ls13-www.cs.uni-dortmund.de/homepage/umuai2013/index.shtml.
Next year the IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games will take place in Dortmund, Park Inn hotel, 26-29.08.2014.
First call of papers and further details are available on the web page of CIG 2014.
The paper G. Bonnin and D. Jannach – Evaluating the Quality of Generated Playlists Based on Hand-Crafted Samples is accepted for ISMIR 2013 (list of all accepted papers is available here).
ISMIR 2013 will take place on 4-8.11.2013 in Curitiba, Brazil.
DFG-funded collaborative research centre (SFB) 823 „Statistical modelling of nonlinear dynamic processes“ has received a renewal of funding for additional 4 years till 2017. In projects B3 and C2 of this SFB several members of SIGMA will continue their research on experimental designs and hearing aid algorithms for music.
The student project group „Music recommender systems – automatic generation of playlists for music discovery“ (supervised by I. Vatolkin, G. Bonnin, and D. Jannach) will start in winter term 2013/2014.
Further details (in German) are available in the project group booklet
PhD Improving Supervised Music Classification by Means of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Feature Selection is available online.
The main topics of the work are (1) the development of interpretable high-level audio features related to music theory for and (2) evolutionary multi-objective feature selection for the optimisation of supervised music classification into genres and styles.
The paper I. Vatolkin – Measuring the Performance of Evolutionary Multi-Objective Feature Selection for Prediction of Musical Genres and Styles is accepted for the 2nd Workshop Audiosignal- und Sprachverarbeitung (WASP).
WASP is organised within INFORMATIK 2013 and will take place on 20.9.2013 in Koblenz, Germany.
Musikinformatik-Buch
In den letzten Monaten ist nicht viel passiert, allerdings haben einige Beteiligten angegeben, ab April/Mai 2013 deutlich mehr Zeit zum Schreiben zu haben. Der Stand des Buches wird in den nächsten Tagen revidiert und die Autoren einzeln angesprochen. Die Besprechungen in kleineren Gruppen abseits der regulären SIGMA-Besprechungen sind ausdrücklich erwünscht.
Konferenzen / Calls
Es ist noch bis zum 30.04.2013 möglich, Beiträge für WASP 2013 einzureichen!
Vorträge
Herr Bonnin hat über seine aktuelle Arbeit zu Musikplaylisten-Erstellung berichtet und Herr Vatolkin hat die Ergebnisse seiner Dissertation vorgestellt.

Several papers with SIGMA contributors have been accepted for GfKl 2012 post-proceedings:
Dear colleague,
I would like to announce a Session „Statistical Musicology“ at the 37th annual conference of the German Classification Society (GfKl), July 10 – 12, 2013, in Luxembourg (Luxembourg).
The conferences of the GfKl are well-known for both, their theoretical and their practical contributions, on various fields of classification and data analysis. Statistical Musicology is the tenth time on the schedule of the GfKl conference. On the first nine occasions the musicology sessions comprised between 6 and 10 papers. Moreover, there were invited talks in the field in 2004 by Jan Beran, in 2009 by Taylan Cemgil, and in 2010 by myself at the conference.
In 2013 the session is again open to all topics in the field. The idea is to give all statistically oriented groups in the field a forum to improve communication as well as to give us the chance to also join statistical methodology oriented sessions on supervised and unsupervised learning and data analysis in general at the conference.
I would like to invite you and your group cordially to present a paper at the musicology session.
Please note that abstracts have to be submitted until February 28 March 31, 2013!!
More information and templates can be found under:
http://www.gfkl2013.lu .
Papers corresponding to presentations can be published in post-conference proceedings. Full papers can be submitted until August 30, 2013.
I am looking forward to welcome you at the conference.
Best regards,
C. Weihs
(Session Organizer and President of the GfKl)
