The document discusses machine listening and music information retrieval. It introduces common techniques in music auto-tagging like extracting features from audio spectrograms and training classifiers. Deep learning approaches that learn features directly from data are showing promise. Recurrent neural networks are discussed for modeling temporal dependencies in music, with an example of applying them to onset detection. The talk concludes with an example of live drum transcription using drum modeling, onset detection, spectrogram slicing and non-negative source separation.
