Music is an expression of our identity, showing a significant correlation with other personal traits, beliefs, and habits. If accessed by a malicious entity, an individual's music listening habits could be used to make critical inferences…
The mridangam is a double-headed percussion instrument that plays a key role in Carnatic music concerts. This paper presents a novel automatic transcription algorithm to classify the strokes played on the mridangam. Onset detection is first…
The identification of structural differences between a music performance and the score is a challenging yet integral step of audio-to-score alignment, an important subtask of music information retrieval. We present a novel method to detect…
Pixels in image sensors have progressively become smaller, driven by the goal of producing higher-resolution imagery. However, ceteris paribus, a smaller pixel accumulates less light, making image quality worse. This interplay of…
This paper presents a novel supervised approach to detecting the chorus segments in popular music. Traditional approaches to this task are mostly unsupervised, with pipelines designed to target some quality that is assumed to define…
The dichotic method of hearing sound adapts in the region of musical harmony. The algorithm of the separation of the being dissonant voices into several separate groups is proposed. For an increase in the pleasantness of chords the…
Modelling human perception of musical similarity is critical for the evaluation of generative music systems, musicological research, and many Music Information Retrieval tasks. Although human similarity judgments are the gold standard,…
Phonation mode is an essential characteristic of singing style as well as an important expression of performance. It can be classified into four categories, called neutral, breathy, pressed and flow. Previous studies used voice quality…
We present a technique to search for the presence of crucial events in music, based on the analysis of the music volume. Earlier work on this issue was based on the assumption that crucial events correspond to the change of music notes,…
Chorus detection is a challenging problem in musical signal processing as the chorus often repeats more than once in popular songs, usually with rich instruments and complex rhythm forms. Most of the existing works focus on the…
Since the vocal component plays a crucial role in popular music, singing voice detection has been an active research topic in music information retrieval. Although several proposed algorithms have shown high performances, we argue that…
Birds produce multiple types of vocalizations that, together, constitute a vocal repertoire. For some species, the repertoire size is of importance because it informs us about their brain capacity, territory size or social behaviour.…
Ragas form the foundation for Indian Classical Music. The task of Raga Recognition has gained traction in the Music Information Retrieval community in the recent past, which can be attributed to the nuances of Indian Classical Music that…
Chord recognition systems depend on robust feature extraction pipelines. While these pipelines are traditionally hand-crafted, recent advances in end-to-end machine learning have begun to inspire researchers to explore data-driven methods…
Estimating music piece difficulty is important for organizing educational music collections. This process could be partially automatized to facilitate the educator's role. Nevertheless, the decisions performed by prevalent deep-learning…
Stemming is a process that can be utilized to trim inflected words to stem or root form. It is useful for enhancing the retrieval effectiveness, especially for text search in order to solve the mismatch problems. Previous research on Bangla…
Speech Segmentation is the process change point detection for partitioning an input audio stream into regions each of which corresponds to only one audio source or one speaker. One application of this system is in Speaker Diarization…
Poetry generation in Sanskrit typically requires the verse to be semantically coherent and adhere to strict prosodic rules. In Sanskrit prosody, every line of a verse is typically a fixed length sequence of syllables adhering to prescribed…
Probabilistic programming languages (PPLs) are expressive means for creating and reasoning about probabilistic models. Unfortunately hybrid probabilistic programs, involving both continuous and discrete structures, are not well supported by…
In order to provide benchmark performance for Urdu text document classification, the contribution of this paper is manifold. First, it pro-vides a publicly available benchmark dataset manually tagged against 6 classes. Second, it…
