D-Theory: Talking about Talking about Trees
Linguists, including computational linguists, have always been fond of talking about trees. In this paper, we outline a theory of linguistic structure which talks about talking about trees; we call this theory Description theory (D-theory). While important issues must be resolved before a complete picture of D-theory emerges (and also before we can build programs which utilize it), we believe t...
متن کاملGeometric Theory of Harmony
In the earlier article I introduced the notion of Hamiltonian cycle as a mathematical model for musical harmony and also proposed a connection with biology: motivations came from two observations. The number of icosahedral vertices is 12 and corresponds to the number of notes in 12-note system and the number of triangular faces of icosahedron is 20, the number of aminoacids. This led to a group...
متن کاملThe harmony of disability.
At first sight the word harmony does not seem to be one most people would associate with disability. Harmony has a very specific meaning in musical terms, the combination of notes to form sequences of chords which follow accepted patterns and rules. The New Oxford Companion to Music defines harmony as the element of agreement in music, as opposed to counterpoint, in which parts move against eac...
متن کاملThe Harmony of Spheres
Let F = {X1, . . . , Xn} be a family of disjoint compact convex sets in R. An oriented straight line ` that intersects every Xi is called a (line) transversal to F . A transversal naturally induces an ordering of the elements of F , this ordering, together with its reverse (which is induced by the same line with opposite orientation), is called a geometric permutation. Geometric transversal the...
متن کاملComputational Modelling of Harmony
Many computational models for processing music fail to capture essential aspects of the high-level musical structure and context, and this limits their usefulness, particularly for musically informed users. In this talk I describe two recent approaches to modelling musical harmony which attempt to reduce the gap between computational models and human understanding of music. The first is a chord...
