We would like to further enhance IM AF with new technologies. Topics for student projects available (at all levels UG/MSc/PhD) to be taken are given below. Programming languages background is a prerequisite as well as willingness to learn new ones, e.g., HTML5. Furthermore, students are expected to develop knowledge and skills on working with latest standards (MPEG, EBU, DMP) as well as acquire commercial and market perspective of music technologies for internet, broadcasting and mobile applications.
* Lyrics extraction and/or highlighting for karaoke apps
* Rights tracking for fair artists remuneration
* Dynamic adaptive audio streaming
* 3D audio mixing
* Second screen music recommendation
* Vocaloid animation
