First Call for Papers: 2020 Joint Conference on AI Music Creativity
(CSMC + MuMe)
Oct 22-24 2020 @ KTH and KMH, Stockholm, Sweden
http://kth.se/aimusic2020
The computational simulation of musical creativity continues to be an
exciting and significant area of academic research, and is now making
impacts in commercial realms. Such systems pose several theoretical and
technical challenges, and are the result of an interdisciplinary effort
that encompasses the domains of music, artificial intelligence,
cognitive science and philosophy. This can be seen within the broader
realm of Musical Metacreation, which studies the design and use of such
generative tools and theories for music making: discovery and
exploration of novel musical styles and content, collaboration between
human performers and creative software “partners”, and design of systems
in gaming and entertainment that dynamically generate or modify music.
The 2020 Joint Conference on AI Music Creativity brings together for the
first time two overlapping but distinct research forums: The Computer
Simulation of Music Creativity conference
(https://csmc2018.wordpress.com, est. 2016), and The International
Workshop on Musical Metacreation (http://musicalmetacreation.org, est.
2012). The principal goal is to bring together scholars and artists
interested in the virtual emulation of musical creativity and its use
for music creation, and to provide an interdisciplinary platform to
promote, present and discuss their work in scientific and artistic contexts.
The three-day program will feature two keynotes, research paper
presentations, demonstrations, discussion panels, and two concerts.
Keynote lectures will be delivered by Professor Emeritus Dr. Johan
Sundberg (Speech, Music and Hearing, KTH,
https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=UXXUEcoAAAAJ
<https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=UXXUEcoAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao>)
and Dr. Alice Eldridge (Music, Sussex University, UK,
https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=uvFGFagAAAAJ).
Topics
We encourage submissions of work on topics related to CSMC and MuMe,
including, but not limited to, the following:
Systems
*
systems capable of analysing music;
*
systems capable of generating music;
*
systems capable of performing music;
*
systems capable of (online) improvisation;
*
systems for learning or modeling music style and structure;
*
systems for intelligently remixing or recombining musical material;
*
systems in sound synthesis, or automatic synthesizer design;
*
adaptive music generation systems;
*
music-robotic systems;
*
systems implementing societies of virtual musicians;
*
systems that foster and enhance the musical creativity of human users;
*
music recommendation systems;
*
systems implementing computational aesthetics, emotional responses,
novelty and originality;
*
applications of CSMC and/or MuMe for digital entertainment: sound
design, soundtracks, interactive art, etc.
Theory
*
surveys of state-of-the-art techniques in the research area;
*
novel representations of musical information;
*
methodologies for qualitative or quantitative evaluation of CSMC
and/or MuMe systems;
*
philosophical foundations of CSMC and/or MuMe;
*
mathematical foundations of CSMC and/or MuMe;
*
evolutionary models for CSMC and/or MuMe;
*
cognitive models for CSMC and/or MuMe;
*
studies on the applicability of music-creative techniques to other
research areas;
*
new models for improving CSMC and/or MuMe;
*
emerging musical styles and approaches to music production and
performance involving the use of CSMC and/or MuMe systems
*
authorship and legal implications of CSMC and/or MuMe;
*
future directions of CSMC and/or MuMe.
Paper Submission Format
There are three formats for paper submissions:
*
Full papers (8 pages maximum, not including references);
*
Work-in-progress papers (5 pages maximum, not including references);
*
Demonstrations (3 pages maximum, not including references).
The templates will be released early 2020, and EasyChair submission link
opened soon thereafter. Please check the conference website for updates:
http://kth.se/aimusic2020
Since we will use single-blind reviewing, submissions do not have to be
anonymized. Each submission will receive at least three reviews. All
papers should be submitted as complete works. Demo systems should be
tested and working by the time of submission, rather than be
speculative. We encourage audio and video material to accompany and
illustrate the papers (especially for demos). We ask that authors
arrange for their web hosting of audio and video files, and give URL
links to all such files within the text of the submitted paper.
Accepted full papers will be published in a proceedings with an ISBN.
Furthermore, selected papers will be invited for expansion and
consideration for publication in the Journal of Creative Music Systems
(https://www.jcms.org.uk).
Important Dates
Paper submission deadline: August 14 2020
Paper notification: September 18 2020
Camera-ready paper deadline: October 2 2020
Presentation and Multimedia Equipment:
We will provide a video projection system as well as a stereo audio
system for use by presenters at the venue. Additional equipment required
for presentations and demonstrations should be supplied by the
presenters. Contact the Conference Chair (bobs at kth.se
<mailto:bobs at kth.se>) to discuss any special equipment and setup
needs/concerns.
Attendance
At least one author of each accepted submission should register for the
conference by Sep. 25, 2020, and attend the workshop to present their
contribution. Papers without authors will be withdrawn. Please check the
conference website for details on registration: http://kth.se/aimusic2020
