Supervisor Meeting Notes

6th December 2021

Week Review

• Downloaded MIDI files
• Interim Report Progress
• Finalising theme labels
• Deciding draft features

Questions

• Interim > Progress > Updated Gantt Chart ?
• Show Skeleton
• Changed the aims of the project
• Rename project title to "Music Theme Recognition (in Musical Composition)"? — Since existing work are categorised as "Music Genre Recognition" and "Music Emotion Recognition"?
• Since a song has 4ish labels & 20ish labels in all -> for a single label, there exists way more negative samples than positive examples. Will this cause a problem?
• A Whole New World: 2 mins of silence at the end of the MIDI sample. I will have to manually fix this — but how do I talk about this in the report, if at all?
• Progress > Project management > how I use the kanban? Like, meeting structure : reviewing "recently done" in Kanban? and then closing the issue
