In this paper, we present an interactive approach for the classification of sound objects in electro-acoustic music. For this purpose, we use relevance feedback combined with active-learning segment selection in an interactive loop. Validation and correction information given by the user is injected in the learning process at each iteration to achieve more accurate classification. Three active ...

the present study sets out to investigate the narrator’s textual position in grass’s the tin drum. although authorial self-dramatization through affinities with one or more characters in the work is undeniable, this study mainly concentrates on the inner interpenetrations of heteroglot utterances as uttered by an unreliable first-person narrator, oskar matzerath, in the light of the bakhtinian ...

mowlavi`s mathnavi is such a mysterious and boundless sea that it is full of pure conceptions. it has been composed to emanate the desired life for creation of an ideal human. it is boundless, because it is full of pure gnostic, philosophical and kalami arguments, as well as social conceptions. it is mysterious, because from every perspective it shows off a unique aspect. being mysterious is no...

This paper presents a high time-resolution strategy to estimate multiple fundamental frequencies in musical signals. The signal is first divided into overlapping blocks, and a high-resolution estimate made of the short-term spectrum. The resulting spectrum is modified such that only the most relevant spectral components are considered, and an iterative algorithm based on earlier work by Klapuri...

This paper, presents an interactive approach for the analysis of electro-acoustic music. An original classification scheme is devised using relevance feedback and active-learning segment selection in an interactive loop. Validation and correction information given by the user is injected in the learning process at each iteration to achieve more accurate classification. An experimental study is ...

Search engines often employ techniques for determining syntactic similarity of Web pages. Such a tool allows them to avoid returning multiple copies of essentially the same page when a user makes a query. Here we describe our experience extending these techniques to MIDI music les. The music domain requires modi cation to cope with problems introduced in the musical setting, such as polyphony. ...

Sirens evoke images of alarm, public service, war, and forthcoming air raid. Outside of the music of Edgard Varése ([8], [9]), sirens have rarely been framed as musical instruments. By connecting air hoses to spinning disks with evenly-spaced perforations, the siren timbre is translated musically. Polyphony gives our instrument an organ-like personality: keys are mapped to different frequencies...
