Som medlem af Netværk for Dansk Lydteknologi har du mulighed for at møde Assistant Professor Pedro Cano fra det spændende Pompeu Fabra Universitet i Barcelona. Han var med til at starte BMAT music innovation og en af de første til at forske i de teknologiske muligheder inden for den semantiske analyse af musik og den digitale søgning, genkendelse og anbefaling af lyd.

Arrangementet er forbeholdt netværkets medlemmer og vil foregå på engelsk.

Kan computere forstå og anbefale musik?

Fredag d. 3. juli har netværkets medlemmer mulighed for at komme til et eksklusivt arrangement med Pedro Cano fra kl. 17.30 til 19.00

Program:

>  Introduktion af Jan Larsen, Lektor og leder af netværket

>  Oplæg af Pedro Cano, Music technology applied: the BMAT case. Barcelona Music & Audio Technologies

>  Meet and Greet - Tag en snak med Pedro Cano og de andre deltagere, mens I nyder en forfriskning

Pedro Cano i Danmark                                          

Pedro Cano deltager i konferencen EMMDS 2009, European Workshop on Challanges in Modern Massive Data Sets, på DTU i dagene 1.-4. juli. Han holder oplæg lørdag d. 4. juli kl. 13.30-14.30 under titlen Music Recomendation Systems: A Complex Networks Perspective.

Abstract:

Nowadays it is possible to access millions of music tracks. In order to ease users to search and discover the music, a number of recommendation systems have been proposed. We analyze the topology of several commercial recommendation systems from a Complex networks perspective. We observe structural properties that provide some hints on searchability and behaviour of music recommendation systems. For example, is the Long Tail truly exploited? How much of the network structure is due to actual musical similarity and how much to other network growth processes?. The properties derived allows us to compare different recommendation approaches: Expert-based, Collaborative filtering and Content-based. Finally, we provide possible optimizations when designing music information systems.
