FLAIRS-2004

The 17th International FLAIRS Conference

The Palms South Beach Hotel
Miami Beach, Florida
May 17-19, 2004

In cooperation with the
Intelligent Systems Technical Committee
of the

The American Association for Artificial Intelligence

Special Track: Artificial Intelligence and Music

Description

It is conjectured by many that sound and music – its composition, its effects, and indeed its appreciation - is close to human biology and biological intelligence. Consequently, studying and understanding the secrets of biological intelligence through the study of music and modeling them on machines are endeavors many pursue.

This track will emphasize the core areas of AI and its impact on Music, as well as Music and its impact on Human Intelligence and AI. The focus of this special track will be on

Characteristics of Music and Human Intelligence.

Application of AI techniques to Music.

Topics of interest include:

Cognitive models and music recognition

Music abstraction and identification

Music synthesis and structural analysis

Application of AI techniques to generate music

Musicology and its application to AI

Qualitative analysis of Music

Music structures and human intelligence

Music intelligence

Networked performance

Music and its impact on learning abilities

Neural Networks and Music

This can be a multi-session track – based on the number and quality of papers submitted.

Paper submissions which address the above areas are sought in all areas of AI including intelligent multi-agent systems, emergent systems, neural networks, expert systems, model-based reasoning, and knowledge acquisition, representation, and processing systems.
