ATIAM Machine Learning & Music Course
Instructors: Arshia Cont and Mathieu Lagrange
This course provides an introduction to pattern recognition and statistical learning for the ATIAM Masters at Ircam during the school year 2011-2012. The goal of the course series is to expose students to problem solving tools using machine learning techniques and intuitions behind each approach.
Topics covered include: Bayesian decision theory; parameter estimation; maximum likelihood; Bayesian parameter estimation; conjugate and non-informative priors; dimensionality and dimensionality reduction; principal component analysis; linear discriminant analysis; density estimation: parametric vs. kernel-based methods; Nearest Neighbor methods; mixture models; expectation-maximization; Sequential Learning; HMMs; Computational Auditory Analysis; Source Separation; and musical applications.
