The aim of this section is to develop a high-performance semantic indexing system using Gaussian mixture model (GMM) supervectors and tree-structured GMMs [1, 2]. GMM spervectors corresponding to six types of audio and visual features are extracted from video shots by using tree-structured GMMs. The computational cost of maximum a posteriori (MAP) adaptation for estimating GMM parameters are re...

Canon offers a combination of declarative style and a powerful abstraction capability which allows a very high-level notation for sequences of musical events and structures. Transformations are operators that can adjust common parameters such as loudness or duration. Transformations can be nested and time-varying, and their...
