Syllabus

Courses under this program:
Course 1: Extracting Information From Music Signals
-

The course introduces audio signal processing concepts motivated by examples from MIR research. More specifically students will learn about spectral analysis and time-frequency representations in general, monophonic pitch estimation, audio feature extraction, beat tracking, and tempo estimation.



Course 2: Machine Learning for Music Information Retrieval
-

An introduction to data mining through the lens of music information retrieval. Topics explored include classification (genre, mood, instrument), multi-label classification (tagging), and regression (emotion/mood).



Course 3: Music Retrieval Systems
-

Course 3 builds upon the digital signal processing concepts we have learned in Course 1 and the machine learning concepts we have learned in Course 2 to investigate a variety of interesting music information retrieval tasks. As these tasks become more advanced and complicated, the examples and assignments in this course shift from programming examples from scratch to utilizing existing libraries and frameworks. Topics explored include: music recommendation and query-by-humming, automatic chord…
