Several deep learning models have been applied to different MIR tasks, such as deep neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and deep belief networks. As an alternative, we recently proposed the compositional hierarchical model (CHM). To overcome some of the limitations by other deep approaches (need for large datasets, black-box approaches), the CHM proposes a transparent structure in a form of a generative model. Its main features are unsupervised learning of a hierarchical representation of input data, transparency, which allows for insights into the learned representation, the ability to extract knowledge from a small dataset, and robustness and speed. The model consists of multiple layers, each composed of a number of parts, unsupervisedly learned from the music input. Parts in each layer are compositions of parts from previous layers based on statistical co-occurrences as the driving force of the learning process. In this talk, we will present how the CHM has been applied to three different music information retrieval tasks: polyphonic music transcription, chord estimation and melodic pattern discovery. We will also show possible applications of the CHM to other tasks and domains and elaborate on connecting the CHM to other ML approaches. ********* Time: Wednesday, 18th January 2017, 4:00 p.m. sharp Location: Oesterreichisches Forschungsinstitut fuer Artificial Intelligence, OFAI Freyung 6, Stiege 6, 1010 Wien OESTERREICHISCHES FORSCHUNGSINSTITUT FUER ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Univ.-Prof. Ing.
