A model for hit song prediction can be used in the pop music industry to identify emerging trends and potential artists or songs before they are marketed to the public. While most previous work formulates hit song prediction as a regression…

When judging style, a key question that often arises is whether or not a pair of objects are compatible with each other. In this paper we investigate how Siamese networks can be used efficiently for assessing the style compatibility between…

This study proposes a deep learning-based approach for discovering loops in programming code according to their potential for parallelization. Two genetic algorithm-based code generators were developed to produce two distinct types of code:…

A music mashup combines audio elements from two or more songs to create a new work. To reduce the time and effort required to make them, researchers have developed algorithms that predict the compatibility of audio elements. Prior work has…

A cover song, by definition, is a new performance or recording of a previously recorded, commercially released song. It may be by the original artist themselves or a different artist altogether and can vary from the original in…

Web test automation techniques often rely on crawlers to infer models of web applications for automated test generation. However, current crawlers rely on state equivalence algorithms that struggle to distinguish near-duplicate pages, often…
