We would like to announce a Session „Statistical Musicology“ at the 5th European Conference on Data Analysis, July 4 – 6, 2018, in Paderborn (Germany).
The ECDA conferences are well-known for both, their theoretical and their practical contributions, on various fields of classification and data analysis. The session is 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.
Please note that abstracts have to be submitted until April 1, 2018. More information and templates can be found under: http://ecda2018.de. Accepted papers corresponding to presentations will be published in the journal „Archives of Data Science, Series A“. Full papers can be submitted until September 15, 2018.

Within the scope of a master thesis at TU Dortmund, an online survey (in German) is currently open: https://umfragen.tu-dortmund.de/index.php/698612?lang=de
The participation time should be about 5-10 minutes and it is possible to win one of two 25€ gift vouchers for Amazon shop.
Today, the DFG-funded project „Evolutionary optimisation for interpretable music segmentation and music categorisation based on discretised semantic metafeatures“ is started. The main goal of the project is to develop new methods for the extraction of interpretable structural information of audio recordings and to improve the classification of music into genres, styles, and emotions, see also the project description in the GEPRIS database.
The course on music data analysis (in German) based on the textbook Music Data Analysis: Foundations and Applications will again take place at TU Dortmund, this time at the Department of Computer Science and during the summer term (see also the course web page from the last year).
We search for test persons with basic skills in jazz and improvisation, either guitar or piano players (1.5 hour experiment, 20€). Details in German are here.
For assistance during software project „Music Informatics“, a position as a student assistant (8 hours per week) is offered at the Chair of Algorithm Engineering, Department of Computer Science, TU Dortmund. Please see the full description in German.
