Event Details

What if computers could enjoy music?

When we listen to music, we unconsciously unravel it in its constituent
parts: notes, rhythm, chords, repeated melodic motifs. A delicate balance between such structure and a degree of surprise is what makes music appealing to us. While we take our ability to enjoy music for granted; for a computer the understanding of music audio is a daunting task.

Dr De Bie will discuss the main challenges from an artificial intelligence perspective, the extent to which they have already been overcome, and what this means for human music listeners and producers.

Organiser

Centre for Public Engagement

The CPE supports and promotes public engagement with research and teaching across the University. This involves running programmes of public talks and festivals, and helping academics to engage with the public by working with them to attract funding, providing appropriate training and facilitating collaboration with partners outside the University. We share ideas about public engagement with other universities through the National Coordinating Centre for Public Engagement.
