NEMISIG (North East Music Information Special Interest Group) is a yearly informal meeting for Music Information Retrieval researchers who work at the intersection of computer science, mathematics, and music.
For those familiar with the International Society of Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR), NEMISIG often serves as a mini-conference to informally discuss research progress a few months in advance of the submission deadline.
Recent incarnations of NEMISIG have also featured an open “NEMIJam session,” since we’re in it for the music, after all.
