A Learning-Based Quantization

چکیده
This paper describes a method for organizing onset times performed along a jam-session accompaniment into normalized (quantized) positions in a score so the performance data can be stored in a reusable form. Unlike most previous beat-tracking-related methods that focus on predicting or estimating beat positions, our method deals with the problem of eliminating the onset-time deviations under the condition that the beat positions are given. Our method solves this problem by using hidden Markov models (HMMs) that model onset-time transition and deviation. The HMM parameters are obtained by unsupervised estimation using the Baum-Welch algorithm and held-out interpolation: they can be derived from only the session recording that we wanted to quantize. Experimental results show that our model performs better than the semi-automatic quantization in commercial sequencing software.

متن کاملDetection of perturbed quantization (PQ) steganography based on empirical matrix
Perturbed Quantization (PQ) steganography scheme is almost undetectable with the current steganalysis methods. We present a new steganalysis method for detection of this data hiding algorithm. We show that the PQ method distorts the dependencies of DCT coefficient values; especially changes much lower than significant bit planes. For steganalysis of PQ, we propose features extraction from the e...

In this paper we present a necessary and sufficient condition for global optimality of unsupervised Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) in kernel space. In particular, we generalize the results presented for expansive and competitive learning for vector quantization in Euclidean space, to the general case of a kernel-based distance metric. Based on this result, we present a novel kernel LVQ algo...

In this paper a wavelet-based logo watermarking scheme is presented. The logo watermark is embedded into all sub-blocks of the LLn sub-band of the transformed host image, using quantization technique. Extracted logos from all sub-blocks are merged to make the extracted watermark from distorted watermarked image. Knowing the quantization step-size, dimensions of logo and the level of wavelet tra...

We suggest the use of alternative distance measures for similarity based classification in Learning Vector Quantization. Divergences can be employed whenever the data consists of non-negative normalized features, which is the case for, e.g., spectral data or histograms. As examples, we derive gradient based training algorithms in the framework of Generalized Learning Vector Quantization based o...
