Abstract Genre-based approach has been the focus of interest in the teaching of language since the mid1980s. Genre is defined in terms of the use of language in conventionalized communicative settings. The present study made an attempt to scrutinize the effects of genre-based pedagogy on Iranian Pre-intermediate EFL leaners' reading comprehension as well as the interaction between their reading...

Typical signal-based approaches to extract musical descriptions from audio signals only have limited precision. A possible explanation is that they do not exploit take any account of context, which provide important cues in human cognitive processing of music: e.g. electric guitar is unlikely in 1930s music, children choirs rarely perform heavy metal, etc. We propose an architecture to train a ...

Music information retrieval (MIR) is small, but fast growing discipline. It aims at extraction of relevant information from music in order to improve the work with multimedia information systems. A popular approach in MIR is to apply signal processing techniques to extract low-level features from a musical piece. However, in order to create helpful applications, high-level concepts, such as mus...

In the context of musical analysis, we propose an algorithm that automatically induces patterns from polyphonies. We define patterns as “perceptible repetitions in a musical piece”. The algorithm that measures the repetitions relies on some general perceptive notions: it is non-linear, non-symetric and non-transitive. The model can analyse any music of any genre that contains a beat. The analys...

Deviate generates multiple streams of melodic and rhythmic output in real-time, according to user-specified control parameters. This performance system has been implemented using Max 5 [1] within the genre of popular contemporary electronic music, incorporating techno, IDM, and related forms. The aim of this project is not musical style synthesis, but to construct an environment in which a rang...
