Software project „Music informatics“ has started at the Chair of Algorithm Engineering, Department of Computer Science, TU Dortmund. In small groups of students, various tasks are solved, e.g., optmisation of audio feature extraction, recognition of genres and instruments, application of deep neural networks for music classification, etc.

This year the annual autumn meeting of the AG DANK (http://www.gfkl.org/working-groups/data-analysis-numerical-classification/) will focus but not be limited to “Musical Data Analysis”. It will be hosted in Dortmund by Karsten Lübke (FOM) and Claus Weihs (TU Dortmund) on October the 10th and 11th. For further informations and/or submissions please contact karsten.luebke [at] fom.de
„Engineering meets Art“, an exhibition showing the results of a project which commemorates the 50th anniversary of the Faculty of Organic and Chemical engineering as interdisciplinary cooperation with the Faculty of Arts and Sports had been launched and will be on show at the Dortmund „U“ until 23 June 2019.
The exhibition is embedded in the diversity dialogues of the TU Dortmund, a professional meeting of different disciplines and Specialized cultures at the university. Funded by the innogy foundation for
Energy and Society gGmbH both students of the Bio and Chemical engineering and students of music and photography worked in interdisciplinary teams over two semesters and developed works of art at the interface of Art and engineering.
The insights into the unknown work areas of the respective partner faculty brought inspirational ideas, new working methods and surprising change of perspective: Dead bees learn to fly, photographic film goes getting under its skin, you can hear insulin and see sound waves.
On 15.05. there was an enthusiastic bruadcast by Stefan Keim in the program „Culture at noon“ at WDR3, which you can listen to here.
Impressions of the opening ceremony can be found here.
Information about individual objects and projects of the exhibition are to find here.
„Engineering meets Art“ will run until 23.06.2019 in the Dortmund „U“, Leonie-Reygers terrace. Admission is free.
Accompanying the exhibition is a lovingly designed catalog which we gladly hand over to you on request.
The thesis „Philipp Ginsel: Strukturelle Komplexitätsmerkmale zur Musikgenre-Klassifikation mit Fuzzy-k-nearest-Neighbors“ (Structural complexity features for music genre classification with Fuzzy-k-nearest-Neighbors, PDF in German) examines different settings for extraction of structural complexity for prediction of music genres with Fuzzy KNN. The tested structural compexity characteristics comprise the progress of chords, chroma, chroma-related features, harmony, instruments, tempo/rhythm, and timbre.
Digital Entertainment Technologies and Arts GECCO track invites submissions describing original work involving the use of computational intelligence techniques in the creative arts, including design, games, and music.
The deadline for abstracts is 30.01.2019 and for full papers 06.02.2019. For more details, see call for papers.
The paper on evolutionary multi-objective training set selection is accepted for EvoMUSART 2019:
