[LAMIR] 1st Latin American Music Information Retrieval Workshop
Magdalena Fuentes
Dear community,
We are happy to announce the 1st Latin American Music Information Retrieval (LAMIR) Workshop! LAMIR is a satellite event of the ISMIR 2024 conference and part of the KHIPUx 2024 events. It provides opportunities for local students and researchers to cultivate the Latin American community within the International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR) and the Artificial Intelligence (AI) communities.
The workshop will take place from December 9 to 11, 2024, at the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. To foster the presence of local students, we will offer financial support in the form of travel awards to local Latin American student authors of accepted papers.

Overview and Topics
We welcome submissions in the form of a full paper (4+N pages, 4 pages of scientific content, and any additional pages that contain only references). We encourage submissions of research from all areas related to MIR, including, but not limited to, machine learning, signal processing, and computational musicology. The workshop is open to everyone, though we prioritize works authored by members of the Latin American community and those centered on Latin American music.
Hackathon
There will be a hackathon featuring a tutorial and a hands-on session focused on MIR applications in Latin American music. Participants will have the opportunity to work with Latin American datasets and develop AI tools and data loaders that contribute to the MIR and Music-AI community.
Music Program
The workshop will have a music program with some local tunes, such as Brazilian samba.
More information coming soon. In the meantime save the dates, spread the word and hope to see you all in Rio de Janeiro in December!
