MARCS Research Seminar

Professor Ramon Lopez de Mantaras will be presenting "Playing with Cases: Rendering Expressive Music Performance with Case-Based Reasoning."

Abstract: Rendering expressive music performances involves complex processes that constitute a challenging research area for computer music research. Besides, it is a rich field for investigating aspects of human intelligence, emotion, and creativity. Case-based reasoning is one of the AI techniques that have produced more promising results in rendering expressive music performances. Furthermore, it has advanced the state of the art in case-based reasoning through the invention of new approaches to case representation, case retrieval and case reuse adapted to musical knowledge. In this talk I will describe in some detail two successful case-based reasoning systems applied to expressive music performance that have been developed at the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute.
