ABSTRACT:
The seminar will present some of the latest research from the Centre for Digital Music in Semantic Audio, wherever appropriate by means of demos. These will include the use of semantic linked data to create exciting music browsing applications, the use of content analysis in recording studios to improve the quality of audio features and music informatics applications, and music recommendation based on mood.
