Multimodal Music Processing (Dagstuhl Seminar 11041)

From January 23 to January 28, 2011, the Dagstuhl Seminar 11041 ``Multimodal Music Processing'' was held at Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Center for Informatics. During the seminar, we discussed various aspects of the automated processing of music-related documents. These documents may describe a musical work in different ways comprising visual representations (e.,g., sheet music), symbolic representations (e.,g., MIDI, tablatures, chords), acoustic representations (CD recordings), audio-visual representations (videos), or text-based metadata. In this report, we give an overview of the main contributions and results of the seminar. We start with an executive summary, which describes the main topics, goals, and group activities. Then one finds a list of abstracts giving a more detailed overview of the participants' contributions as well as of the ideas and results discussed in the group meetings and panels of our seminar.
