Description

Content

The course provides an overview of main areas and methodologies in information retrieval that are relevant to music research, including machine learning, signal processing, neuroimaging and semantic computing.

Prerequisite: While past experiences with MATLAB or other kinds of programming are considered an asset, this course assumes no prior computer programming experience.

Completion methods

Lectures, Demonstration Workshops, Group work, Survey presentation (individual work), Research project (group work), Project report. More detailed information will be given in syllabus.

Assessment details

Active participation (at least 80%) in contact teaching, passed presentations and project work.

Evaluation criteria will be given in the beginning of the course.

Learning outcomes

Students acquire knowledge regarding the core issues of the discipline, and retain a general guide map for future studies. Basic programming skills using MATLAB environment.
