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)
Master thesis Lena Brüder – Music classification using Constant-Q
based Features is available (supervised by Prof. Dr. Martin and Dr. Wolfgang Theimer).
One of the main outcomes of the study was the recognition of music personal categories using only a few of positive example songs with optional negative songs. The slides of the presentation are here.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
Digital Entertainment Technologies and Arts track (DETA) @ GECCO 2013
Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference
July 6-10, 2013
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Submission deadline: January 23, 2013
Camera-ready submission: April 17, 2013
GECCO-2013 conference: July 06-10, 2013
The arts, music, and games are key application fields for computational intelligence, evolutionary computation, and related techniques. This track explicitly focuses on these areas, strengthening a domain of high scientific, commercial, and cultural relevance. We invite submissions describing original work involving the use of computational intelligence in the creative arts, including design, games, and music. Works of a methodological, experimental, or theoretical nature will be considered.
We welcome your submissions and participation!

Dr. Matthias Mauch from Queen Mary University of London will give a talk within statistical colloquium on Thursday, 08.11.2012 (room CDI 120, TU Dortmund)
„Teasing the Music out of Digital Data – my first five years of Music Informatics Research“
The first paper summarizes the final results of the project group „Mobile music worlds – explorative games for navigation through digital music collections“ and will be presented at the IEEE Conference on Computational Intelligence and Games (CIG) (Granada, Spain, 11-14.09.2012):
A. Jordan, D. Scheftelowitsch, J. Lahni, J. Hartwecker, M. Kuchem, M. Walter-Huber, N. Vortmeier, T. Delbruegger, Ü. Güler, I. Vatolkin, and M. Preuss – BeatTheBeat: Music-Based Procedural Content Generation In a Mobile Game
The second paper examines the possibilities to reduce the number of music training instances based on N-Gram sorting with the following removal of outliers and similar frequent instances. It will be presented at the Workshop on Knowledge Discovery, Data Mining and Machine Learning (KDML) (Dortmund, Germany, 12-14.09.2012):

The results of a large study applying feature selection by SMS-EMOA for recognition of instruments in audio mixtures are available online and will be published in the special issue on evolutionary music of the journal Soft Computing – A Fusion of Foundations, Methodologies and Applications:

Musikinformatik-Buch
Die zwei Kapitel „Foundations of Music“ und „Physics of Sound“ werden zu einem zusammen gefasst („The Musical Signal“). „Music Theory and Music Perception“ wird in „Musical Structures and their Perception“ umbenannt.
Das einführende Kapitel „Goals and Problems“ wird durch Beispiele ergänzt. Die Stichpunkte des Kapitels sind in Repository eingecheckt.
In der Datei book.tex sind Notationsbeispiele. Symbolliste wird vorne definiert, beim Hinzufügen neuer Symbole sollen die Personen den eigenen Namen dazu schreiben. Symbole, die übergreifend für mehrere Kapitel gelten, sollen mithilfe von \newcommand definiert werden.
Vektoren werden grundsätzlich als Spaltenvektoren definiert; transponierte Vektoren werden mit „T“ markiert.
Es wurden zwar keine Deadlines zum Schreiben von Kapiteln festgelegt, es wird allerdings erwartet, dass die ersten vollständigen Texte bis zu der nächsten Sitzung entstehen. Dabei kann gleichzeitig an allen Kapiteln gearbeitet werden.
