Call for Alt-AIMC and Doctoral Consortium Participation

Deadlines for papers and performances have passed, but we are opening up for contributions of late-breaking research both for our Alt-AIMC strand and the Doctoral Consortium.

Alt-AIMC: Call for Papers

Alt-AIMC is a submission track in the 2023 AI Musical Creativity Conference for late-breaking research, work-in-progress reports, and novel, thought-provoking, risky or disruptive ideas about music and artificial intelligence. We welcome work that might not fit with the standard conference review process, for example, work that:

• addresses or suggests controversial ideas

• questions and challenges current ideas and research

• pushes or subverts boundaries of the field

• provides novel insights and new critical perspectives

We also welcome papers on late-breaking research results that were too late for the main call, or in-progress projects that would benefit from feedback from the conference community.

Review Process

Alt-AIMC will follow an informal review process, where papers will be commented on by the organising committee. Papers will be judged on (a) value to the conference community (b) novelty (c) where appropriate, novel, creative and critical perspectives (d) the quality of writing/presentation.

Accepted papers will be presented at the conference.

Submission Instructions

Please submit short papers (up to 2000 words) within the scope of the indicative topics in our main call for participation (https://aimc2023.pubpub.org/cfp). Follow the instructions detailed in the call for writing a paper on pubpub, then email your pubpub link to [email protected] with the subject ‘Alt-AIMC Submission’. Submissions should not be anonymised.

Doctoral Consortium

The consortium will offer participants the opportunity to share nascent cutting-edge research in the interdisciplinary field of music and AI. Researchers whose work involves performance systems are encouraged to make a submission to give a paper, a demonstration, or a short performance. The colloquium is organised by Sussex and Iceland University of the Arts doctoral researchers, with support from key researchers in the field. The colloquium will serve as an ideal platform for practice based researchers to discuss research questions, methods, and get feedback on work-in-progress.

Doctoral Consortium paper format is the same as the Scientific Paper format, except shorter (2000-3000 words) and not anonymous.

This consortium will take place in Sussex Humanities Lab on Day 1.

Submission Instructions
