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:
I. Vatolkin, M. Preuß, G. Rudolph, M. Eichhoff, C. Weihs: Multi-Objective Evolutionary Feature Selection for Instrument Recognition in Polyphonic Audio Mixtures.
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.

The 2-year research project ViSTA-TV funded by European Union is started on 01.06.2012. The target of the project is to apply the actual data mining methods for analysis and recommendation of TV streams.
The project group “Mobile music worlds – explorative games for navigation through digital music collections” is finished; the short summary of results is provided by a poster.
The forthcoming post-conference proceedings of GfKl 2011 will include the following publications:
Two updates providing easy extraction of new harmony-related audio features within AMUSE have been recently accomplished:
Update of Chroma Toolbox plugin
The AMUSE Chroma Toolbox plugin was updated to the version 2.0 (see http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/resources/MIR/chromatoolbox/ for more details on Chroma Toolbox).
The following features were added:
New Sonic Annotator NNLS plugin
This plugin enables the extraction of the following NNLS Chroma features (http://isophonics.net/nnls-chroma):
An interesting contest for music recommendation algorithms (the results will be presented at ISMIR 2012):

Since the data set is openly distributed, it can be also used for development / evaluation of methods not only for this competition.

Die überarbeitetete Kapitelstruktur
Die Mediatoren (die i.A. nicht gleich die Hauptautoren der enstrechenden Kapitel sind) sollen sich um die Organisation der Teams und Inhalte kümmern.
Bis zu der nächsten Besprechung sollen die Stichpunkte ausführlicher beschrieben werden.
Herr Ligges kümmert sich um die TeX-Vorlage (mit Definitionen, Variablenlisten usw..).

On Thursday 22.03.2012 at 11:00 the student project group “Mobile music worlds – explorative games for navigation through digital music collections” will present the results of the finished work during the past year. Place of the talk: Chair of Algorithm Engineering, Department of Computer Science, TU Dortmund (Otto-Hahn-Str. 14), room 202.
This year we organize again a music session at GfKl conference. The official call is:
Dear colleague,
I would like to announce a Session „Statistical Musicology“ at the 36th annual conference of the German Classification Society (GfKl), August 01 – 03, 2012, in Hildesheim (Germany).
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 ninth time on the schedule of the GfKl conference. On the first eight 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 2012 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 March 31, 2012!!
More information and templates can be found under:
http://www.gfkl2012.de/.
Papers corresponding to presentations can be published in post-conference proceedings. Full papers can be submitted until August 31, 2012.
I am looking forward to welcome you at the conference.
Best regards,
C. Weihs(Session Organizer and President of the GfKl)
