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 ...

Synthesized sound, however, achieves only limited accuracy and expressive translation from actual performance gestures due to errors produced wh...
