In this paper, we present an interactive approach for the classification of sound objects in electro-acoustic music. For this purpose, we use relevance feedback combined with active-learning segment selection in an interactive loop. Validation and correction information given by the user is injected in the learning process at each iteration to achieve more accurate classification. Three active ...

We present X-ray observations of the Black-Hole Binary GRS 1915+105 made with the RXTE (Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer). We concentrated on timing analysis of the strong variability focusing on its aperiodic variability on short (<1s) time scales. In the power density spectra, we found a feature which is seen in many transient systems, but until now was not detected in GRS 1915+105 due to its elus...

This paper presents a high time-resolution strategy to estimate multiple fundamental frequencies in musical signals. The signal is first divided into overlapping blocks, and a high-resolution estimate made of the short-term spectrum. The resulting spectrum is modified such that only the most relevant spectral components are considered, and an iterative algorithm based on earlier work by Klapuri...

This paper, presents an interactive approach for the analysis of electro-acoustic music. An original classification scheme is devised using relevance feedback and active-learning segment selection in an interactive loop. Validation and correction information given by the user is injected in the learning process at each iteration to achieve more accurate classification. An experimental study is ...

Abstract Under the reign of Duke Bolesław V, Poland lived through a period cultural prosperity with several newly founded monastic centres and productive scriptoria. Particularly important were two convents Order St Clare, by duke’s sister, blessed Salomea, his wife, Kinga. Both cloisters led in spirit royal foundations repositories medieval chant polyphony. While Stary Sącz (founded 1280) is f...

We reexamine the expectations theory of the term structure using data a t the short end of the maturity spectrum. We find that prior to the founding of the Federal Reserve System in 1915, the spread between long rates and short rates has substantial predictive power for the path of interest rates; after 1915, however, the spread contains much less predictive power. We then show that the short r...

the present study sets out to investigate the narrator’s textual position in grass’s the tin drum. although authorial self-dramatization through affinities with one or more characters in the work is undeniable, this study mainly concentrates on the inner interpenetrations of heteroglot utterances as uttered by an unreliable first-person narrator, oskar matzerath, in the light of the bakhtinian ...
