A Corpus-Based Study on Ragtime Syncopation

This paper presents a corpus-based study on syncopation patterns in ragtime. We discuss open questions on the ragtime genre and the potential of computational tools in addressing these questions, contributing to the fields of Musicology and Music Information Retrieval (MIR), and giving back to the ragtime enthusiasts community. We introduce the RAG-collection of around 11000 ragtime MIDI files ...

Corpus-Based Rhythmic Pattern Analysis of Ragtime Syncopation

This paper presents a corpus-based study on rhythmic patterns in the RAG-collection of approximately 11.000 symbolically encoded ragtime pieces. While characteristic musical features that define ragtime as a genre have been debated since its inception, musicologists argue that specific syncopation patterns are most typical for this genre. Therefore, we investigate the use of syncopation pattern...

We present an approach for optimizing the performance of information agents by materializing useful information . A critical problem with information agents, particularly those gathering and integrating information from Web sources is a high query response time. This is because the data needed to answer user queries is present across several diierent Web sources (and in several pages within a s...

Country Cartels *

We analyze collusion under demand uncertainty by cartels such as OPEC that care about the utility derived from profits by citizens. When citizens are sufficiently risk averse and fixed operating costs are non-trivial, it becomes difficult for cartels to collusively restrict output both when demand is low and marginal dollars are highlyvalued, and when demand is high and potential defection prof...
