Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
While music libraries around the world are digitizing millions of musical scores, there are currently very few efforts underway at extracting the musical content from these page images and making the music notation available for large-scale search and analysis.
This talk will introduce the work underway in the Single Interface for Music Score Searching and Analysis project, a multi-year international research initiative that is developing tools and best-practices for large-scale music document recognition and search.
Andrew Hankinson is a digital humanist, librarian, academic, and coder. He is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Oxford, working on the Digital Image Archive of Medieval Music project, and is associated with the Single Interface for Music Score Searching and Analysis project hosted at McGill University in Montréal, Québec.
Andrew recently completed his dissertation on large-scale optical music recognition. His research focuses primarily on large-scale music document digitization, recognition, search, and retrieval.
