We focus on a selection of systems that exploit recent advances in semantic and affective computing, music information retrieval (MIR) and semantic web, as well as insights from fields such as mobile computing and information visualisation. These systems offer the potential to provide transformative experiences for users, which is manifested in creativity, engagement, efficiency, discovery and affect

Spatially Rendering Decomposed Recordings - Integrating Score-Informed Source Separation and Semantic Playback Technologies

In this contribution, we present a system for creating novel renderings of a given music recording that aurally highlight certain musical aspects or semantics using spatial localiza-tions. The system decomposes a monaural audio recording into separate events using score-informed source separa-tion techniques and prepares them for an interactive mobile player that renders audio based on semantic information. We demonstrate the capabilities of the system by means of an example using an immersive chroma helix model which the listener can navigate in realtime using mobile sensor controls. 1

Contrast Information Dynamics: A Novel Information Measure for Cognitive Modelling.

We present contrast information, a novel application of some specific cases of relative entropy, designed to be useful for the cognitive modelling of the sequential perception of continuous signals. We explain the relevance of entropy in the cognitive modelling of sequential phenomena such as music and language. Then, as a first step to demonstrating the utility of constrast information for this purpose, we empirically show that its discrete case correlates well with existing successful cognitive models in the literature. We explain some interesting properties of constrast information. Finally, we propose future work toward a cognitive architecture that uses it

The evolutionary roots of creativity: mechanisms and motivations

Funding: MASTS pooling initiative (The Marine Alliance for Science and Technology for Scotland). MASTS is funded by the Scottish Funding Council (grant reference HR09011) and contributing institutions.We consider the evolution of cognition and the emergence of creative behaviour, in relation to vocal communication. We address two key questions: (i) what cognitive and/or social mechanisms have evolved that afford aspects of creativity?; (ii) has natural and/or sexual selection favoured human behaviours considered ‘creative’? This entails analysis of ‘creativity’, an imprecise construct: comparable properties in non-humans differ in magnitude and teleology from generally agreed human creativity. We then address two apparent problems: (i) the difference between merely novel productions and ‘creative’ ones; (ii) the emergence of creative behaviour in spite of high cost: does it fit the idea that females choose a male who succeeds in spite of a handicap (costly ornament); or that creative males capable of producing a large and complex song repertoire grew up under favourable conditions; or a demonstration of generally beneficial heightened reasoning capacity; or an opportunity to continually reinforce social bonding through changing communication tropes; or something else? We illustrate and support our argument by reference to whale and bird song; these independently evolved biological signal mechanisms objectively share surface properties with human behaviours generally called ‘creative’. Studying them may elucidate mechanisms underlying human creativity; we outline a research programme to do so.PostprintPeer reviewe
