Music Informatics & Cognition

Music Informatics is an exciting multidisciplinary area of research, which involves the study of intelligent systems that can perform musical tasks, such as analysing and composing music, performing, teaching, retrieving musical information, and others. Central to this is the study of human cognition and ways of modelling it. This one-day workshop will focus on different aspects of state of the art research, with talks by world leading experts in the field.

Speakers include:

• Henkjan Honing (Music, Mind, Machine group, Universiteit van Amsterdam)
• Alan Marsden (Lancaster University)
• Francois Pachet (Sony CSL-Paris)
• Mark Steedman (University of Edinburgh)
