Quantitative characterisation of audio data by ordinal symbolic dynamics

چکیده
Ordinal symbolic dynamics has developed into a valuable method to describe complex systems. Recently, using the concept of transcripts, the coupling behaviour of systems was assessed, combining the properties of the symmetric group with information theoretic ideas. In this contribution, methods from the field of ordinal symbolic dynamics are applied to the characterisation of audio data. Coupling complexity between frequency bands of solo violin music, as a fingerprint of the instrument, is used for classification purposes within a support vector machine scheme. Our results suggest that coupling complexity is able to capture essential characteristics, sufficient to distinguish among different violins.

A General Symbolic Approach to Kolmogorov-Sinai Entropy
It is popular to study a time-dependent nonlinear system by encoding outcomes of measurements into sequences of symbols following certain symbolization schemes. Mostly, symbolizations by threshold crossings or variants of it are applied, but also, the relatively new symbolic approach, which goes back to innovative works of Bandt and Pompe—ordinal symbolic dynamics—plays an increasing role. In t...
متن کاملSpecial Session 51: Ordinal Symbolic Dynamics and Applications
Ordinal symbolic dynamics is a promising new approach to the investigation of time series and the systems behind them, with the important properties of being conceptually simple and relatively robust with respect to noise. The idea behind it is to consider the order relation between the values of a time series instead of the values themselves. Roughly speaking, a given time series is transforme...
متن کاملSymbolic Analysis of High-Dimensional Time Series
In order to extract and to visualize qualitative information from a highdimensional time series, we apply ideas from symbolic dynamics. Counting certain ordinal patterns in the given series, we obtain a series of matrices whose entries are symbol frequencies. This matrix series is explored by simple methods from nominal statistics and information theory. The method is applied to detect and to v...
متن کاملOrdinal symbolic analysis and its application to biomedical recordings.
Ordinal symbolic analysis opens an interesting and powerful perspective on time-series analysis. Here, we review this relatively new approach and highlight its relation to symbolic dynamics and representations. Our exposition reaches from the general ideas up to recent developments, with special emphasis on its applications to biomedical recordings. The latter will be illustrated with epilepsy ...
متن کاملMathematics at Your Fingertips: Testing a Finger Training Intervention to Improve Quantitative Skills
Previous research indicates that the use of fingers as representations of ordinal and cardinal number is an important part of young children’s mathematics learning. Further to this, some studies have shown that a finger training intervention can improve young children’s quantitative skills. In this article, we argue that fingers represent a means for children to connect different external repre...
