We introduce a neural network, known as SONNETMAP, capable of automatic segmentation, learning and retrieval of melodies. SONNET-MAP is a synthesis of the SONNET (Self-Organizing Neural NETwork) architecture (Nigrin, 1993) and an associative map derived from ARTMAP (Carpenter, Grossberg, and Reynolds, 1991). SONNET-MAP automatically segments a melody based on pitch and rhythmic grouping cues. S...

Sonnet was designed as a visual language for implementing real-time processes. Early design and development of behavioral components has largely focused on the domain of music programming. However, Sonnet’s architecture is well suited to expressing many kinds of real-time activities. In particular, Sonnet is easily extended with new kinds of data types and behavioral components. We have develop...

As any computer user employs the Internet to accomplish everyday activities, a flow of data packets moves across the network, forming their own patterns in response to his or her actions. Artists and sound designers who are interested in accessing that data to make music must currently possess low-level knowledge of Internet protocols and spend significant effort working with low-level networki...

there is no doubt that fantastic whispers and melodies of love terms, which have found its way into sonnet envelope through the body of arabic poetry and literature and drew poets’ attention ever- increasingly and welcomed by them, were followed by a type of verse that was seriously affected by charming and nice odes recited by well-known literary characters at age of jahelid. at the beginning ...

Recent feminist and gender-oriented scholarship about the Victorian sonnet has attributed a pioneering role to Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnets from the Portuguese in the nineteenth-century revival of the genre. Eminent literary critics such as Angela Leighton, Alison Chapman, and Dorothy Mermin agree that theSonnets, in Chapman’s words, ‘translate the amatory discourse of Petrarchanism int...

We present a new framework, Sonnet, for the interactive visualization of large, complex biological models that are represented as graphs. Sonnet provides a flexible representation framework and graphical user interface for filtering and layout, allowing users to rapidly visualize different aspects of a data set. Many previous approaches have required users to write customized software in order ...
