Annual Conference focuses on the CLARIAH digital humanities infrastructure and its use by researchers and other professionals from the heritage field. This free program offers lectures, debates, interactive presentations, workshops and poster sessions and dives into topics like AI, social media, linked data & data stories. 

From Beethoven to Metallica, from Pinkpop to the Big Sing, from the beginning of the 20th century through to last week.

Relying on the results of WP2 -ontology-based knowledge graphs- the overall goal of WP3 is to devise approaches to analysing large repositories of music (tunes, songs, etc.) to identify common, meaningful patterns that are indicative of their identity, filiation or cultural association (genres, origin, etc). Work package leader James McDermott explains the ‘Mining Musical Patterns’ work of WP3 in our latest video on YouTube. 

As part of the dissemination of the project results, Polifonia’s consortium partners have the ambition to regularly present their work at symposia and academic meetings, thereby informing semantic, AI, data science, linguistic and humanities researchers of their findings with Polifonia data.

Work package 2 develops ontology-based knowledge graphs for representing music collections (symbolic notation/scores, code-based musical assets, annotated audio/transcriptions, metadata) and its historical, cultural, and social context. Watch work package leader Albert Meroño Peñuela explain the role of WP2 within Polifonia in our newest YouTube video.
