Evaluation of Algorithms Using Games: The Case of Music Tagging

Search by keyword is an extremely popular method for retrieving music. To support this, novel algorithms that automatically tag music are being developed. The conventional way to evaluate audio tagging algorithms is to compute measures of agreement between the output and the ground truth set. In this work, we introduce a new method for evaluating audio tagging algorithms on a large scale by col...

Learning to Tag using Noisy Labels

In order to organize and retrieve the ever growing collection of multimedia objects on the Web, many algorithms have been developed to automatically tag images, music and videos. One source of labeled data for training these algorithms are tags collected from the Web, via collaborative tagging websites (e.g., Flickr, Last.FM and YouTube) or crowdsourcing applications (e.g., human computation ga...

Music and Sound in (Exer)Games

Music plays in important role in human culture. This is also the case for exercise, games and exergames. In this study we examine the influence of previous game experience and the presence of music and sound on game performance and game experience. Sixteen students (12 males, 4 females; age: M = 24.8 years, SD = 3.4) played two exergames with and without sound and music. Game performance, game ...

بررسی اثر نوع موزیک و تراز فشار صوت بر میزان کالری مصرفی و کارایی فیزیکی دانشجویان از طریق تست تردمیل

Introduction: Listening to music during physical activity reduces the perceived stress on body. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of music genre and sound pressure level on calorie consumption and physical performance of students during treadmill tests. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 27 students were randomly selected. A demographic questionnaire, Borg Rating of Percei...
