Artificial intelligence is opening up new research possibilities across diverse fields. In this seminar, two music researchers will discuss a new optical music recognition tool under development that will benefit explorations of 17th century music compositions.
Jason Stoessel (University of New England) and Denis Collins (University of Queensland) will discuss the benefits, challenges and solutions they’ve negotiated in building this optical music recognition tool, which will be able to rapidly generate encodings of a large body of currently unedited and unpublished antique music, in order to prepare modern editions of the music. This new tool will enable the researchers, and future researchers, to question and interpret historical musical sources with originality and impact. It’s an example of how artificial intelligence and digital technology can be harnessed to help advance human knowledge.
The UNE Digital Humanities Seminar Series showcases existing and emerging digital technologies in research within the Faculty of Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences and Education (HASSE).
The seminar will be held on Thursday, 12 September from 11am-12pm in Arts Lecture Theatre A3.
All welcome.
