This paper presents a description of our submission to the C@merata task in MediaEval 2015. This submission is a revision to the system submitted for the same task in MediaEval 2014 including some bug fixing. The system answers the natural language queries over the musical scores. The approach is based upon two main steps: identifying the musical entities and relations present in the query, and...

This paper examines the idea that attraction to music is generated at a cognitive level through the formation and activation of networks of interlinked "nodes." Although the networks involved are vast, the basic mechanism for activating the links is relatively simple. Two comprehensive cognitive-behavioral models of musical engagement are examined with the aim of identifying the underlying cogn...

This paper describes drum sound identification for polyphonic musical audio signals. It is difficult to identify drum sounds in such signals because acoustic features of those sounds vary with each musical piece and precise templates for them cannot be prepared in advance. To solve this problem, we propose new template-adaptation and templatematching methods. The former method adapts a single s...

conclusions unless there are well-thought out strategies for minimizing the undesirable impact on the environment, it is not advisable that such projects be permitted. results the results showed that the negative environmental and social impacts of the project outweighed the positive impacts in terms of type, number, and intensity. materials and methods a checklist containing the positive, nega...

in treating the subject of musical language, a persian musician would be intrinsically drawn to the structural similarities between the persian music and language. indeed persian music and language are extremely related in their metrics, intonations and structural phrases (syntax). although we will draw upon this relationship, our aim in this article is to present “music as a language,” consist...

This paper describes the implementation of Time Delay Neural Networks (TDNN) to recognize gestures from video images. Video sources are used because they are non-invasive and do not inhibit performer's physical movement or require specialist devices to be attached to the performer which experience has shown to be a significant problem that impacts musicians performance and can focus musical reh...

Optimizing compilers apply code-improving transformations in phases over a source program in an eeort to emit the fastest or most compact executable code possible. The eeectiveness of these optimizations is limited by phase-ordering problems, manifested as interactions among optimizations and the attending impact on system resource utilization. Incorporating into each optimization module an awa...

1 The interdisciplinary information needed to compose a coherent picture of climate change, its precursors and impacts could not be assembled from existing knowledge. To use a musical analogy, the instruments of the orchestra where neither in the same key nor being played to the same beat. Consequently, the climate change symphony was nothing more than chaotic noise.
