CSC 578: Computational Models of Music

CRN:

Credit Hours:

Previous Offerings:

We will explore various computational approaches to musical problems (rule-based approaches, connectionism, dynamical systems, and probabilistic models), focusing on two main areas: 1) models of musical processing and information retrieval; 2) models of musical styles. Our focus will be on the symbolic level of music representation rather than on the signal level (there will be no signal processing in the course). Most assignments will consist of reading articles and answering questions about them. There will be some programming assignments, with other options for students without programming ability.
