Multimodal Musician Recognition

This research is an initial effort in showing how a multimodal approach can improve systems for gaining insight into a musician’s practice and technique. Embedding a variety of sensors inside musical instruments and synchronously recording the sensors’ data along with audio, we gather a database of gestural information from multiple performers, then use machine-learning techniques to recognize ...

∆-Scaling in Spectator Fragmentation

Universal scaling-laws of fluctuations (the ∆-scaling laws) have been derived for equilibrium systems, and shown to apply also in certain out-of-equilibrium situations. [1]. Recently looking for signals of a phase transition in multifragmentation reactions the model-independent theory of universal fluctuation has been used [2]. The ∆-scaling is observed when two or more probability distribution...

Experimental Robot Musician

Current research linking musical composition and computer science has traditionally focused on the performance through virtual musical instruments, such as within the area of electronic music synthesis using modern digital signal processing techniques. Synthesized sound, however, achieves only limited accuracy and expressive translation from actual performance gestures due to errors produced wh...
