Rencon 2004: Turing Test for Musical Expression

Proceedings of the International Conference on New Interfaces for Musical Expression

Abstract:

Rencon is an annual international event that started in 2002. It has roles of (1) pursuing evaluation methods for systems whose output includes subjective issues, and (2) providing a forum for researches of several fields related to musical expression. In the past. Rencon was held as a workshop associated with a musical contest that provided a forum for presenting and discussing the latest research in automatic performance rendering. This year we introduce new evaluation methods of performance expression to Rencon: a Turing Test and a Gnirut Test, which is a reverse Turing Test, for performance expression. We have opened a section of the contests to any instruments and genre of music, including synthesized human voices.
