Reihe: Chapman & Hall/CRC Machine Learning & Pattern Recognition

Providing an essential and unique bridge between the theories of signal processing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence (AI) in music, this book provides a holistic overview of foundational ideas in music, from the physical and mathematical properties of sound to symbolic representations. Combining signals and language models in one place, this book explores how sound may be represented and manipulated by computer systems, and how our devices may come to recognize particular sonic patterns as musically meaningful or creative through the lens of information theory.

Introducing popular fundamental ideas in AI at a comfortable pace, more complex discussions around implementations and implications in musical creativity are gradually incorporated as the book progresses. Each chapter is accompanied by guided programming activities designed to familiarize readers with practical implications of discussed theory, without the frustrations of free-form coding.

Surveying state-of-the art methods in applications of deep neural networks to audio and sound computing, as well as offering a research perspective that suggests future challenges in music and AI research, this book appeals to both students of AI and music, as well as industry professionals in the fields of machine learning, music, and AI.

Über Autor(innen)

Shlomo Dubnov is a Professor in the Music Department and Affiliate Professor in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, San Diego. He is best known for his research on poly-spectral analysis of musical timbre and inventing the method of Music Information Dynamics with applications in Computer Audition and Machine improvisation. His previous books on The Structure of Style: Algorithmic Approaches to Understanding Manner and Meaning and Cross-Cultural Multimedia Computing: Semantic and Aesthetic Modeling were published by Springer.

Ross Greer is a PhD Candidate in Electrical & Computer Engineering at the University of California, San Diego, where he conducts research at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human agent interaction. Beyond exploring technological approaches to musical expression, Ross creates music as a conductor and orchestrator for instrumental ensembles. Ross received his B.S. and B.A. degrees in EECS, Engineering Physics, and Music from UC Berkeley, and an M.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering from UC San Diego.
