Environmental enrichment is one of the methods for improving fish growth performance. In the present trial, the effects of both light color and music on growth performance and survival of goldfish (Carassius auratus) (initial mean weight: 4.15±0.08 g) were investigated for 2 months. Two light color treatments (red light and white light) and three music treatments (M0: without music, M30:30 min...

As the amount, availability and use of online music increase, music recommendation becomes an important field of research. Collaborative, content-based and case-based recommendation systems and their hybrids have been used for music recommendation. There are already a number of online music recommendation systems. Although specific user information, such as, demographic data, education and orig...

Computers are now powerful enough and data sets large enough to enable completely data-driven studies of Schenkerian analysis, the most well-established variety of hierarchical music analysis. In particular, we now have probabilistic models that can be trained via machine learning algorithms to analyze music in a hierarchical fashion as a music theorist would. Most of these models, however, onl...

Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of coherent sources is a significant problem in impulsive noise environments. In this paper, a robust estimation algorithm which combines the ideas of spatial smoothing (SS) and infinity-norm normalization (INF) is presented, referred to as INF-SSR. The proposed algorithm exploits the Root– MUSIC technique to computer the DOA estimates, thus avoiding the pe...

An algorithm known as the Musical Imitation and Creativity Algorithm (MICA) that composes stylistic music based on a corpus of works in a given style is presented. The corpus works are digital music scores created from the widely available MIDI format. The algorithm restricts the note placement in compositions using a Markov chain model built from discrete-time representations of the corpus pie...

An auditory-perception inspired singing voice separation algorithm for monaural music recordings is proposed in this paper. Under the framework of computational auditory scene analysis (CASA), the music recordings are first transformed into auditory spectrograms. After extracting the spectral-temporal modulation contents of the timefrequency (T-F) units through a two-stage auditory model, we de...

PROMS, a computer-music service under development at the University of Bonn, Germany, aims at designing and implementing PROcedures for Music Search. This paper discusses an eÆcient algorithm for searching a music pattern, e.g., a melody or a sequence of chords, in a large database of polyphonic music, given in a score-like format. Our algorithm is a variant of the now classic inverted le index...

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) is a multiple access technique based on spread spectrum methods. To estimate the delay parameters appearing in the data model, several authors have proposed subspace-based solutions. Unfortunately, these methods, for example the eigenvector-based MUSIC method yields poor results at low signal-to-noise ratios. On the other hand, theoretically optimal maximum ...

Peer-to-peer systems are useful tools for music applications. Existing peer-to-peer systems support the storing and sharing of music data, however they cannot effectively and efficiently support the content-based information retrieval and the cooperation of musicians. This study focuses on the methods of content-based music information retrieval in peer-to-peer environments. Four music informat...
