چکیده

The equalization and modeling of audio systems have some particular features that are not present in other science fields, including a frequency range of 10 octaves. Also, the properties of the human auditory system (e.g. logarithmic resolution both in frequency and magnitude) should be taken into account. If the design is done using conventional filter design approaches having linear frequency resolution, this results in filters requiring huge computational cost for a full-band solution. This paper presents several design methodologies that take into account the particular requirements for audio, in order to achieve solutions with better subjective quality and lower computational cost. The paper presents parametric optimization, warped filters and their combination with linear systems, and the use and design of fixed-pole parallel filter banks. RESUMEN La ecualización y modelado de sistemas de audio presenta ciertas particularidades no presentes en otros campos de la ciencia, como es el abarcar un rango de 10 octavas. También, la naturaleza de la percepción humana del sonido es logarítmica tanto en frecuencia como en magnitud, aspectos ambos a tener en cuenta. Si su diseño se enfoca con técnicas de diseño de filtros convencionales con una resolución en frecuencia lineal, son necesarios filtros de alto coste computacional para cubrir toda la banda audible. En este artículo se presentan nuevas metodologías de diseño que tienen más en cuenta la naturaleza del problema para obtener soluciones de mejor calidad subjetiva y menor coste computacional: optimización paramétrica, filtrado warped y su combinación con filtros lineales, y uso de bancos de filtros paralelos. 44o CONGRESO ESPAÑOL DE ACÚSTICA ENCUENTRO IBÉRICO DE ACÚSTICA EAA EUROPEAN SYMPOSIUM ON ENVIRONMENTAL ACOUSTICS AND NOISE MAPPING

A New Method for Improving Computational Cost of Open Information Extraction Systems Using Log-Linear Model

Information extraction (IE) is a process of automatically providing a structured representation from an unstructured or semi-structured text. It is a long-standing challenge in natural language processing (NLP) which has been intensified by the increased volume of information and heterogeneity, and non-structured form of it. One of the core information extraction tasks is relation extraction wh...

Modeling and equalization of audio systems using Kautz filters

Frequency warping using allpass structures or Laguerre filters has found increasingly applications in audio signal processing due to good match with the auditory frequency resolution. Kautz filters are an extension where the frequency warping and related resolution can have more freedom. In this paper we discuss the properties of Kautz filters and how they meet typical requirements found in mod...

Audio Equalization with Fixed-Pole Parallel Filters: An Efficient Alternative to Complex Smoothing

Recently, the fixed-pole design of parallel second-order filters has been proposed to accomplish arbitrary frequency resolution similarly to Kautz filters, at 2/3 of their computational cost. This paper relates the parallel filter to the complex smoothing of transfer functions. Complex smoothing is a well-established method for limiting the frequency resolution of audio transfer functions for a...

Frequency-Zooming ARMA Modeling of Resonant and Reverberant Systems*

Parametric analysis and modeling is an increasingly common task in acoustics and audio. In this paper we focus on audio-related problems where a target system response can be measured and the task is to model it for computational simulation or synthesis, or to derive an inverse model for equalization. Representative examples of the first group are room response modeling, including artificial re...
