On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
