Unsupervised Taxonomy of Sound Effects
نویسنده
چکیده
Sound effect libraries are commonly used by sound designers in a range of industries. Taxonomies exist for the classification of sounds into groups based on subjective similarity, sound source or common environmental context. However, these taxonomies are not standardised, and no taxonomy based purely on the sonic properties of audio exists. We present a method using feature selection, unsupervised learning and hierarchical clustering to develop an unsupervised taxonomy of sound effects based entirely on the sonic properties of the audio within a sound effect library. The unsupervised taxonomy is then related back to the perceived meaning of the relevant audio features.

Unsupervised Learning of an IS-A Taxonomy from a Limited Domain-Specific Corpus
This report addresses the problem of learning a taxonomy from a given domain-specific text corpus. We propose a novel unsupervised algorithm for this problem. Its key contributions include a clustering-based inference approach that increases recall over surface patterns and a graph-based algorithm for detecting incorrect edges that improves precision. Our system induces the taxonomy simply by a...

In this paper, we propose a novel way to include unsupervised feature selection methods in probabilistic taxonomy learning models. We leverage on the computation of logistic regression to exploit unsupervised feature selection of singular value decomposition (SVD).

متن کاملTaxonomy Extraction from Automotive Natural Language Requirements Using Unsupervised Learning
In this paper we present a novel approach to semi-automatically learn concept hierarchies from natural language requirements of the automotive industry. The approach is based on the distributional hypothesis and the special characteristics of domain-specific German compounds. We extract taxonomies by using clustering techniques in combination with general thesauri. Such a taxonomy can be used t...
متن کاملLearning Taxonomies by Dependence Maximization
We introduce a family of unsupervised algorithms, numerical taxonomy clustering, to simultaneously cluster data, and to learn a taxonomy that encodes the relationship between the clusters. The algorithms work by maximizing the dependence between the taxonomy and the original data. The resulting taxonomy is a more informative visualization of complex data than simple clustering; in addition, tak...
