This paper examines the standard string-matching approach to automated score following of an acoustic performance, looking at limitations imposed by both the score representation used and the matching approach. The approach is then extended through the incorporation of duration information and matchscores based on a model of transcriber error. The resulting score follower promises to allow comp...

Cuvinte cheie. Protocoale de rutare, model de mobilitate, reţea ad-hoc fără fir, rată de livrare a pachetelor, controlul suprasarcinii Rezumat. Acest articol analizează performanţele unui protocol de rutare multi-hop utilizat în reţelele VANET (Vehicular Ad-Hoc Wireless Networks)VANRP. Se realizează, de asemenea, o comparaţie între protocolul VANRP şi alte două protocoale utilizate în reţelele ...

The aim of the present study was to determine the between-match variability in soccer referees' match performances. 1 269 individual match observations were undertaken on 59 referees (range 2-79 games per referee) officiating in the English Premier League and Championship from 2003/2004 to 2007/2008 using a computerised tracking system (Prozone (®), Leeds, England). Between-match coefficients o...

RÉSUMÉ. L’omniprésence d’unités mobiles et le développement des réseaux sans fil motivent des avancées en matière de supports d’exécution pour une grande variété d’applications en environnement mobile. Des efforts importants sont faits pour offrir une bonne gestion des données malgré les caractéristiques limitées de tels environnements. La notion de transaction a été réétudiée pour proposer des...

Pair programming has attracted an increasing interest from practitioners and researchers: there is initial empirical evidence that it has positive effects on quality and overall delivery time, as demonstrated by several controlled experiments. The practice does not only regard coding, since it can be applied to any other phase of the software process: analysis, design, and testing. Because of t...

X10 is a promising recent parallel language designed specifically to address the challenges of productively programming a wide variety of target platforms. The sequential core of X10 is an object-oriented language in the Java family. This core is augmented by a few parallel constructs that create activities as a generalization of the well known fork/join model. Clocks are a generalization of th...

As one of the main expressive feature in music, articulation affects a wide range of tone attributes. Based on experimental recordings we analyzed human articulation in the late Baroque style. The results are useful for both the understanding of historically informed performance practices and further progress in synthetic performance generation. This paper reports of our findings and the implem...

This note is devoted to an analysis of the so-called peeling algorithm in wavelet denoising. Assuming that the wavelet coefficients of the signal can be modeled by generalized Gaussian random variables, we compute a critical thresholding constant for the algorithm, which depends on the shape parameter of the generalized Gaussian distribution. We also quantify the optimal number of steps which h...

In Natural Language Processing (NLP) Evaluation, such as MUC (Hirshman, 1998), TREC (Harman, 1998), GRACE (Adda et al., 1997), SENSEVAL (Kilgariff, 1998), metrics on the performances, such as precision, recall, or f-measure are used. Nevertheless, performance results are often average measurements computed over the complete test. They do not give any clues about the system’s robustness. We conc...
