I attended ISMIR 2014 in Taipei with two accepted papers:
“Multiple Viewpoint Melodic Prediction with Fixed-Context Neural Networks” — Continuing earlier work on neural network–based note prediction using the multiple viewpoints representation, an event-based representation of symbolic music data.
“An RNN-based Music Language Model for Improving Automatic Music Transcription” — Co-authored with Siddharth Sigtia and Emmanouil Benetos.
Both presented as posters. Prof. Ye Wang’s keynote on music’s therapeutic applications in rehabilitation was a highlight — it made me think about how melody modelling research could eventually serve therapeutic purposes.
Taipei was a wonderful city. Visited Taipei 101, the historic village of Jiufen, local museums. Would happily return.
