Identifying versions of the same song by means of automatically extracted audio features is a complex task for a music information retrieval system, even though it may seem very simple for a human listener. The design of a system to perform this task gives the opportunity to analyze which features are relevant for music similarity. This paper focuses on the analysis of tonal similarity and its ...

An approach is presented which provides the tune change locations within a set of Irish Traditional tunes. Also provided are semantic labels for each part of each tune within the set. A set in Irish Traditional music is a number of individual tunes played segue. Each of the tunes in the set are made up of structural segments called parts. Musical variation is a prominent characteristic of this ...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Differences in color form a major component of biological variation, and quantifying these differences is the first step to understanding their evolutionary and ecological importance. One common method for measuring color variation is segment classification, which uses three variables (chroma, hue, and brightness) to describe the height and shape of reflectanc...

We compare three methods of constructing confidence intervals for sample autocorrelations of squared returns modeled by models from the GARCH family. We compare the residual bootstrap, block bootstrap and subsampling methods. The residual bootstrap based on the standard GARCH(1,1) model is seen to perform best.

We propose a framework for printing high chroma and bright colors which are beyond both the display sRGB and the classical cmyk print gamuts. These colors are printed with a combination of classical cmyk inks and the two additional daylight fluorescent magenta and yellow inks. The goal is to enhance image parts by printing them with high chroma and bright colors. We first select the image parts...

Objective: The orange-red spectrum of  the skin of  electric yellow (Labidochromis caeruleus) is  one  of  the  idealistic and  necessary  schemas sought  by  aquarists  and commercial producers. In this study, the effect of live foods meal on the skin coloration of juvenile electric yellow was examined. Methods: 270 fish with an average living body weight was 0.42 ± 0.11 g, and averag...

Total masking of a colored disk in the Werner disk-ring paradigm wus found to be a function of the interaction between its color and the color of the ring that followed it. Suppression occurred most frequently when disk and ring hues were identical, least often when complementary hues were paired, and with intermediate frequency when hues were different but noncomplementary. Results were consis...

With the studies of effective representation of music signals and music scores, i.e. chroma and octave features, this work conducts score following and score retrieval. To complement the shortage of chromagram representation, energy distributions in different octaves are used to describe tone height information. By transforming music signals and scores into sequences of feature vectors, score f...

Key changes are common in Western classical music. The precise segmentation of a music piece at instances where key changes occur allows for further analysis, like self-similarity analysis, chord recognition, and several other techniques that mainly pertain to the characterization of music content. This article examines the automatic segmentation of audio data into parts composed in different k...
