2004 Panels
Panel 1
Musical Data as Intellectual Property
Moderator: Eleanor
Selfridge-Field
Panelists: Charles Cronin (Columbia University,
USA), Enric Enrich (Enrich Advocats, Spain), Masataka Goto
(AIST, Japan)
Researchers consider data repositories for
the testing of new query methods highly desirable, but the
data most desired by researchers is frequently under copyright.
This panel will discuss approaches and possible resolutions
to this problem from diverse perspectives. Participants represent
the recording and film industries as well as the library and
research communities.
Panel 2
Discussion on the ISMIR-2004 Audio Description Contest
Moderator: Pedro
Cano
Panelists: Juan Bello; Stephen Downie; Dan
Ellis; Marc Leman; Elias Pampalk; George Tzanetakis
The purpose of the panel is to both discuss
the results of the Audio Description Contest held during the
ISMIR2004
(see http://ismir2004.ismir.net/ISMIR_Contest.html)
The goal of the contest was to compare state-of-the-art
audio description algorithms and systems relevant to Music
Information Retrieval. Contests were held on: Genre Classification,
Artist Identification, Rhythm Classification, Tempo Induction
and Melody Estimation. 20 participants from 12 different research
groups took part in the contest.
Part of the panel will be devoted to detail
the different contests, the data and copyright issues involved,
evaluation methods and the results. The second part of the
panel will focus on gathering feedback from panelists, participants
and the audience as well suggestions for improvements. A final
part will summarize the overall experience, focusing on steps
to be taken in possible future contests.

Panel 3
Industry issues related to Music Information Retrieval
Moderator: Donald
Byrd
Panelists: Stephan Baumann (DFKI, Germany);
Markus Cremer (Fraunhofer, Germany); Francois Pachet (Sony,
France); Randall Cook (GraceNote, USA); Fabio Vignoli (Philips
Research, Netherlands)
Academic researchers often forget issues
that are vitally important for practical applications of their
work. On the other hand, people in the commercial sector aren't
always as conscious as they might be of research in universities
and other institutions that could be very helpful to their
companies. Nearly all of ISMIR is about research, but this
panel is intended to bring the practical side of things to
the foreground. Panelists from the commercial world will speak
about their views of music information retrieval, and members
of the audience will have a chance to interact with them.
In addition, anyone who plans to attend this panel is invited
to write down questions they'd like panelists to talk about,
and to hand them to the moderator before the session; as time
permits, he will ask the panelists to discuss questions of
the most general interest.
