A Deterministic Annealing Algorithm for Automatic Music Transcription
Abstract: In the past decade, non-negative matrix factorisation (NMF) and probabilistic latent component analysis (PLCA) have been used widely in automatic music transcription. Despite their successes,...
View ArticleThe Audio Degradation Toolbox and its Application to Robustness Evaluation
Abstract: We introduce the Audio Degradation Toolbox (ADT) for the controlled degradation of audio signals, and propose its usage as a means of evaluating and comparing the robustness of audio...
View ArticleImpact of Frame Size and Instrumentation on Chroma-based Automatic Chord...
Abstract. This paper presents a comparative study of classification performance in automatic audio chord recognition based on three chroma feature implementations, with the aim of distinguishing...
View ArticleDrum Transcription via Classification of Bar-level Rhythmic Patterns
Abstract. We propose a novel method for automatic drum transcription from audio that achieves the recognition of individual drums by classifying bar-level drum patterns. Automatic drum transcription...
View ArticleTimbre-invariant Audio Features for Style Analysis of Classical Music
We propose a novel set of chroma-based audio features inspired by pitch class set theory and show their utility for style analysis of classical music by using them to classify recordings into...
View ArticleA Comparison of Extended Source-filter Models for Musical Signal Reconstruction
Recently, we have witnessed an increasing use of the source-filter model in music analysis, which is achieved by integrating the source filter model into a non-negative matrix factorisation (NMF)...
View ArticleMedleyDB: a Multitrack Dataset for Annotation-intensive MIR Research
We introduce MedleyDB: a dataset of annotated, royalty-free multitrack recordings. The dataset was primarily developed to support research on melody extraction, addressing important shortcomings of...
View ArticleModelling the Decay of Piano Sounds
We investigate piano acoustics and compare the theoretical temporal decay of individual partials to recordings of real-world piano notes from the RWC Music Database. We first describe the theory behind...
View ArticleComputer-aided Melody Note Transcription Using the Tony Software: Accuracy...
We present Tony, a software tool for the interactive annotation of melodies from monophonic audio recordings, and evaluate its usability and the accuracy of its note extraction method. The scientific...
View ArticleAnalysis of Intonation Trajectories in Solo Singing
We present a new dataset for singing analysis and modelling, and an exploratory analysis of pitch accuracy and pitch trajectories. Shortened versions of three pieces from The Sound of Music were...
