- Patrick Zanon, Gerhard Widmer
- The paper addresses the question whether a machine can learn to identify
famous performers (pianists) based on their style of playing. A preliminary
study is presented where different machine learning algorithms are
applied to performance data derived from Mozart sonata recordings by several
famous pianists. It is shown that the algorithms learn to recognize pianists
at a level better than chance, and that some pianists seem easier to
recognize than others. The study identifies a number of limitations of
the current approach (regarding both data and learning algorithms) and
points to a variety of fruitful directions for further research.
