Join the meetings

The Journal Clubs are monthly online meetings in which we discuss a recent paper relevant to the field of Computational Musicology. The meetings are supposed to not last longer than 2 hours.

You can join our monthly journal clubs here: https://epfl.zoom.us/j/300517233.

The next meeting date is Tuesday, March 10th, 2020, 5pm Berlin time.

The paper to be discussed is shown at the top of the list below. If you want to participate in further discussions on Computational Musicology, feel free to join our Google Group.
