Recommenders and Intelligent Tools in Music Creation: Why, Why Not, and How?

Christine Bauer (AT), Peter Knees (AT), Richard Vogl (AT), Hansi Raber (AT)

Freitag, 6. September 2019, 15:00 - 16:00
Alle Termine werden in der Mitteleuropäischen Sommerzeit (MESZ / UTC+2) angegeben.
POSTCITY, AIxMusic Workshop Space

In diesem Workshop wird die Rolle von Künstlichen Intelligenz, von Komposition gestützt durch Machine Learning und von Empfehlungssystemen im Prozess der Musikproduktion. Wir besprechen die Rezeption und das vorherrschende Image unter professionellen MusikproduzentInnen und -schaffenden, einschließlich der potenziellen Bedrohungen für die künstlerische Originalität. Wir kontrastieren diese Sichtweise und besprechen die Potenziale der KI-Technologie für eine Demokratisierung des Musikmachens durch den erleichterten Zugang zum Musikschaffen.

Christine Bauer (AT)
Christine Bauer is a Senior Postdoc Researcher at Johannes Kepler University (JKU) Linz, Austria.
Before joining JKU, she researched at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, University of Cologne, Germany, and WU in Vienna, Austria.
Her research activities are driven by her interdisciplinary background. She holds a Doctoral degree in Social and Economic Sciences and a Diploma degree in International Business Administration, both from University of Vienna, Austria. In addition, she holds a Master degree in Business Informatics from TU Wien, Austria.
Her research centers on intelligent, algorithmically-driven systems. Thereby, she takes a human-centered approach where technology follows humans’ and the society’s needs. Currently, she lays a focus on music recommender systems. She received the prestigious Elise Richter grant funded by Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and holds several best paper awards as well as awards for her reviewing activities.
