OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected to start before the end of Hilary Term to allow all future events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed on the Staff Gateway and via email to identified OxTalks users.

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.
