A PhD grant on "Audio signal processing for music information
retrieval", funded by Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK)-irst, is available
at University of Trento.
Under the FBK-SHINE research unit, an established framework is available
for audio chord estimation, beat tracking and tempo extraction.
The related technology has been benchmarked successfully under MIREX
competitions of the last years.
The purpose of this PhD investigation is to progress on these tasks,
increasing the size of the chord set, extracting a more detailed rhythm
structure, and addressing different music styles (e.g., jazz).
Another goal is to expand this framework, addressing problems as cover
song identification, instrument separation, score transcription, and
music information retrieval.
Candidates should meet the following requirements:
• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Computer Science.
• Studies should have been completed efficiently, recently, and with an
above of average mark.
• Advanced knowledge in Signal Processing, Audio and Speech Processing,
and Speech Recognition.
• Good knowledge of music theory.
• Programming experience in C/C++, Matlab or Octave, Perl in the Unix
environment.
• Good English knowledge.
