[Asis-l] Music Information Retrieval Bibliography Updated

[J. Stephen Downie]

Hi colleagues:

Just a quick note to let you know that the Music Information Retrieval Annotated 
Bibliography project (aka MIRBIB) has undergone some updating and housecleaning. 
There are now 321 records in the collection and counting. For those new to Music 
IR research, we also have browsable collection of "background readings" that 
might prove useful to you.

Special thanks to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for its support of the 
project. Special thanks to Karen Medina and Jordan Seymour for all their hard work.

Cheers,

{From the MIRBIB introductory pages}
The Music Information Retrieval Bibliographies (MIRBIB) bring together items 
identified as being germane to Music Information Retrieval research and 
development. There are two collections within MIRBIB:

     * The "core research" bibliography
     * The "background readings" bibliography

The first level, or "core research," bibliography brings together those papers 
which deal specifically with some aspect of MIR research and development. Topics 
include:

     * MIR system development
     * Experimentation
     * Use analyses
     * Evaluation, etc.

The second level, or "background readings," bibliography contains a set of 
discipline-specific mini-bibliographies. Each discipline-specific 
mini-bibliography in the set has been created to provide access to the necessary 
background materials for non-expert members of the various disciplines engaged 
in MIR research to comprehend and evaluate the papers from each participating 
discipline. For example, we hope that a digital librarian can quickly find a 
background reading on audio signal processing that will help to make the MIR 
research papers that deal with signal processing techniques more understandable.

This collection contains 321 documents, a total of 467 kb
