The Centre for Digital Music (C4DM) at Queen Mary University of London
(QMUL) has a vacancy for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) in
music information retrieval, as part of the Innovate UK funded project
"Development of next generation music recognition algorithm for content
monitoring", in collaboration with Breathe Music Ltd. The position is
available to start immediately and runs until 31 March 2021.
The responsibilities of the role are to investigate, develop and
evaluate machine learning and music information retrieval technologies
for automatically recognising alternative versions of a song
irrespective of the style in which it is being played – a problem also
known as musical work recognition or cover song detection. The work will
include evaluating existing methods for musical work recognition from
audio, proposing new methods, and developing software tools for the same
task.
