Automatic classification of music pieces by genre is one of the crucial tasks in music categorization for intelligent navigation. In this work we present a multiExpert genre classification system based on acoustic, musical and timbre features. A novel rhythmic characteristic, 2D beat histogram is used as high-level musical feature. Timbre features are extracted by multiple-f0 detection algorith...

ion Description Run(function, inputs) Apply inputs to function. Map(function, inputs) For each input in inputs, apply function. MapReduce(mapper, reducer, inputs) For each input in inputs apply mapper, sort intermediate outputs, and then apply reducer. AllPairs(function, inputs_a, inputs_b) Apply function to all combinations of inputs_a and inputs_b. Wavefront(function, matrix) Compute recurren...

This paper describes key concepts, approach and modelling details for preliminary safety (risk) assessment of human functions in complex systems controlled by a human operator or a group of operators. Human function consists of sequence of tasks and each task can be “abnormally” executed by human potentially leading to undesired events compromising system safety. Usually function reliability is...

This study investigated the impact of oral pushed output on the learning and retention of English perfect tenses. During the study, a pre-test was administered to 22 freshmen majoring in English translation. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups. Then, for six sessions both groups received explicit instructions on English perfect tenses. Every session, the experimental group rec...

As a key characteristic in audio-visual speech recognition (AVSR), relating linguistic information observed across visual and audio data has been challenge, benefiting not only audio/visual (ASR/VSR) but also for manipulating within/across modalities. In this paper, we present feature disentanglement-based framework jointly addressing the above tasks. By advancing cross-modal mutual learning st...

The studies on the merits of processing instruction (PI) and output-based instruction (OI) have mostly treated the two approaches as mutually exclusive. To address the potentials of combining interpretation and production activities, this research compared the two isolated approaches of PI and OI with two combined approaches in which processing and output tasks were used in two opposite orders ...

Research on pre-task planning has revealed that planned conditions have produced more fluent and complex language than unplanned conditions. To date, most of these studies have investigated the effects of individual planning on language production while collaborative planning has received scant attention. To determine the effects of pre-task planning on second language written production, the p...
