Considered as one of the most difficult complications in horology, the mechanical chiming watch, known as the striking watch, has today become one of the symbols of high craftsmanship. When it chimes the hour the sound of a striking watch must not only be ...
Short-term spectral features – and most notably Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) – are the most widely used descriptors of audio signals and are deployed in a majority of state-of-the-art Music Information Retrieval (MIR) systems. These descript ...
This thesis proposes to analyse symbolic musical data under a statistical viewpoint, using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. Our main argument is to show that it is possible to design generative models that are able to predict and to generate m ...
This paper describes a new method for music onset detection. The novelty of the approach consists mainly of two elements: the time–frequency processing and the detection stages. The resonator time frequency image (RTFI) is the basic time–frequency analysis ...
