Carlos Cancino-Chacón

Carlos Cancino-Chacón is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Computational Perception at Johannes Kepler University Linz (JKU), Austria, and the Principal Investigator of the Rach3 Project, funded by the Austrian Science Fund. The Rach3 Project uses computational, data-driven methods to study long-term music rehearsal, leveraging advances in AI and machine learning. He previously conducted research at the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (OFAI) and was a Guest Researcher at the RITMO Centre, University of Oslo. His research focuses on machine learning models for understanding music performance and listening, with emphasis on three areas: computational modeling of expressive performance, (real-time) human-computer interaction in music, and cognitively plausible machine listening. He holds a PhD in Computer Science from JKU, an MSc in Electrical and Audio Engineering from Graz University of Technology, a Bachelor’s in Physics from UNAM, and a Bachelor’s in Piano Performance from the National Conservatory of Music of Mexico. He currently serves as a Member-at-Large on the ISMIR Board and as Section Editor for TISMIR.
