Introduction

Music can touch the hearts of any audience without them possessing any knowledge of its context. The power of music is transcendental, and it stems from the timbre of the instrument(s), the fundamental rhythmic structure and melody, the dynamics, instrumentation, and many more, all of which cooperate in some form of harmony to create the final product. With the recent rise of Artificial Intelligence-Generated Contents (AIGC), AI for music is a promising field full of creativity, novel methodologies, and technologies that are yet to be explored. Currently, AI for music methods have been commonly concentrated on utilizing machine learning and deep learning techniques to generate new music. Despite the significant milestones that have been achieved thus far, many are not necessarily robust for a wide range of applications.

AI music itself is a timely topic. This workshop aims to generate momentum around this topic of growing interest, and to encourage interdisciplinary interaction and collaboration between AI, music, Natural Language Processing (NLP), machine learning, multimedia, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), audio processing, computational linguistics, and neuroscience. It serves as a forum to bring together active researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to share their recent advances in this promising area.
