MUSA2004 Music Information Research (5 cr)
Description
The course provides an overview of main areas and methodologies in computational analysis of music, including signal processing and feature extraction, machine learning, and semantic computing.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student will:
· be able to program in computer languages relevant to Music Information Research (e.g. MATLAB)
· understand the processes involved in computational musical feature extraction (e.g. extract from a digital audio signal information related to pitch, timbre, rhythm, meter, tonality)
· understand and implement methods for music classification, segmentation
· understand methods of semantic computing, and/or is able to retrieve large data using music APIs
