This week, the 25th International Conference on Music Information Retrieval are hosted in San Francisco, California. The Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology has a huge representation at the conference: three faculty, two PhD students, six MS students, and one BSMT student. There are also 20+ GTCMT alum at the conference!
On Sunday, Nat and Claire—collaborating with David Sears, Josh Albrecht, and Ashley Burgoyne—conducted a tutorial entitled “Humans at the Center of MIR: Human-subjects Research Best Practices. The tutorial was attended, and we got a lot of positive feedback, both from student attendees and some senior ISMIR scholars. CCML is also presenting two papers at the conference, as well as one late-breaking demo:
- Venkat, Noel, and Anish are presenting their project: Sanidha, a new dataset of high-quality, source-serparated Carnatic music performances.
- Nat is also a computational-musicology paper titled “Looking for Tactus in all the Wrong Places,” which is focusing on how to resolve “tempo-octaves” in symbolic music data.
- Sangheon Park will be presenting a late-breaking demo on his dataset of Korean classical music.
Members of the GTCMT’s Music Informatics Group, Karn and Yongyhun, are also presenting a paper and a demo respectively.
