Structured Audio Information Retrieval System

چکیده
The Structured Audio Information Retrieval System (STAIRS) project targets environments where workers need access to information, but cannot use traditional hands-and-eyes devices, such as a PDA. The information to be accessed is stored in an information base, either as pre-recorded audio or as text to be run through a text-to-speech engine. Given the inherent limitations of the simple audio interface used in STAIRS, it is important to structure the information base in a way which makes navigation as easy as possible for the user.

Prototyping a Vibrato-Aware Query-By-Humming (QBH) Music Information Retrieval System for Mobile Communication Devices: Case of Chromatic Harmonica
Background and Aim: The current research aims at prototyping query-by-humming music information retrieval systems for smart phones. Methods: This multi-method research follows simulation technique from mixed models of the operations research methodology, and the documentary research method, simultaneously. Two chromatic harmonica albums comprised the research population. To achieve the purpose ...
متن کاملSearch Sounds: An audio crawler focused on weblogs
In this paper we present a focused audio crawler that mines audio weblogs (MP3 blogs). This source of semi-structured information contains links to audio files, plus some textual information that is referring to the media file. A retrieval system —that exploits the mined data— fetches relevant audio files related to user’s text query. Based on these results, the user can navigate and discover n...
متن کاملANNODEX-ing Broadcast TV News for Semantic Browsing and Retrieval
The development of a semantic web of text, images, structured information, and continuous media information including video and audio, depends on being able to annotate content with semantic meaning and then use that content description directly in applications. ANNODEX is a recently announced initiative to allow continuous media files to be integrated directly with their own content descriptio...
متن کاملStructured Audio: Creation, Transmission, and Rendering of Parametric Sound Representations
Structured audio representations are semantic and symbolic descriptions that are useful for ultralow-bit-rate transmission, flexible synthesis, and perceptually based manipulation and retrieval of sound. We present an overview of techniques for transmitting and synthesizing sound represented in structured format, and for creating structured representations from audio waveforms. We discuss appli...
متن کاملTowards Large Databases for Music Information Retrieval Systems Development and Evaluation
In the context of MIR/MDL evaluation, a key component for evaluation would be the availability to the research community of a large corpus of test data consisting of both audio and structured music data. This paper proposes a possible path towards this goal by following the basic principles of the SpeechDat projects. SpeechDat refers to successive EC supported projects of large scale multilingu...
