Content
In this seminar, we discuss a number of current research problems in the fields of Music Processing and Music Information Retrieval (MIR). Possible topics include:
- Fundamental Frequency Estimation
- Harmonic-Percussive Source Separation
- Non-negative Matrix Factorization
- Music Structure Analysis
- Music Synchronization
Course requirements
The seminar particularly addresses participants of the course Music Processing with a good understanding of the lecture's content. Requirements are a solid mathematical background, a good understanding of fundamentals in digital signal processing, as well as a general background and personal interest in music. The seminar is accompanied by readings from textbooks or the research literature. Furthermore, the students are required to experiment with MATLAB. The following video gives a brief impression about some of the requirements:
