Back from ISMIR 2012

22/10/2012

The ISMIR 2012 conference is now over and it was a very productive experience, and quite intense too! 

The week started off with the tutorials on Monday, of which I'd like to highlight the tutorial on Reusable software and reproducibility in music informatics research, which discussed important issues in software development which are often overlooked by the research community.

On Tuesday I didn't have to present anything and so could enjoy a relaxed day of interesting presentations, posters, and conversations with the members of the MIR community who with each conference become more and more like an extended "academic family" :)

Wednesday was definitely the most intense: it started off with my oral presentation which was the first of the day, describing our work in:

J. Salamon, G. Peeters and A. Röbel, "Statistical Characterisation of Melodic Pitch Contours and its Application for Melody Extraction", in Proc. 13th International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference (ISMIR 2012), Porto, Portugal, October 2012.

The talk was well received, even though it being the first session of the day meant the audience didn't attack with the usual set of feisty questions as they often do. Thanks to Kazuyoshi Yoshii for the interesting question and suggestion!

Next up was our poster presentation with Julián:

J. Salamon and J. Urbano, "Current Challenges in the Evaluation of Predominant Melody Extraction Algorithms", in Proc. 13th International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference (ISMIR 2012), Porto, Portugal, October 2012.

The poster managed to attract considerable interest, which is good, because it means the Audio Melody Extraction Annotation Initiative might become a reality after all! Stay posted on this topic...

On thursday we presented two posters, one on tonic detection in Indian classical music and another on tracking melodic patterns in Flamenco music:

J. Salamon, S. Gulati and X. Serra, "A Multipitch Approach to Tonic Identification in Indian Classical Music", in Proc. 13th International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference (ISMIR 2012), Porto, Portugal, October 2012.

A. Pikrakis, F. Gómez, S. Oramas, J. M. D. Báñez, J. Mora, F. Escobar, E. Gómez and J. Salamon, "Tracking Melodic Patterns in Flamenco Singing by Analyzing Polyphonic Music Recordings", in Proc. 13th International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference (ISMIR 2012), Porto, Portugal, October 2012.

On Friday Emilia presented our work on Flamenco transcription:

E. Gómez, F. Cañadas, J. Salamon, J. Bonada, P. Vera and P. Cabañas, "Predominant Fundamental Frequency Estimation vs Singing Voice Separation for the Automatic Transcription of Accompanied Flamenco Singing", in Proc. 13th International Society for Music Information Retrieval Conference (ISMIR 2012), Porto, Portugal, October 2012.

And in the afternoon during the Late Breaking / Demo Session I demo'ed MELODIA, our recently released Melody Extraction vamp plug-in, which was a great opportunity to get some feedback from the community regarding the plug-in.

I should also mention that this year there was massive MTG participation, which you can read more about here. To get an idea, here's a photo we took of all MTG current and ex-members who attended ISMIR 2012, and even here there are a couple of people missing because they didn't make it in time for the photo:

Finally, ISMIR was of course also a good chance for enjoying portuguese food, wine (vino de porto) and beer together with fellow researchers.

On a more serious note though, it was an excellent forum to get feedback for my work, and I highly recommend ISMIR for PhD students working in a related area.

Next year... Brazil!
