Learning music composition with recurrent neural networks

Florian François Colombo

Throughout this thesis, we are interested in modeling music composition. To do so, we study the association of music theory concepts with the learning capabilities of recurrent neural networks. Especially, we explore numerical formalizations of music so th ...

The Impact of Voice Leading and Harmony on Musical Expectancy

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Robert Lieck

In Western tonal music, voice leading (VL) and harmony are two central concepts influencing whether a musical sequence is perceived as well-formed. However, experimental studies have primarily focused on the effect of harmony on the cognitive processing of ...

Audio-Visual Fusion : New Methods and Applications

Anna Llagostera Casanovas

The perception that we have about the world is influenced by elements of diverse nature. Indeed humans tend to integrate information coming from different sensory modalities to better understand their environment. Following this observation, scientists hav ...

Method and system for combining video sequences with spatio-temporal alignment

Martin Vetterli, Serge Ayer

Given two video sequences, a composite video sequence can be generated which includes visual elements from each of the given sequences, suitably synchronized and represented in a chosen focal plane. For example, given two video sequences with each showing ...

A Computationally Efﬁcient Method for Polyphonic Pitch Estimation

Marco Mattavelli, Giorgio Zoia, Ruohua Zhou

This paper presents a computationally efficient method for polyphonic pitch estimation. The method employs the Fast Resonator Time-Frequency Image (RTFI) as the basic time-frequency analysis tool. The approach is composed of two main stages. First, a preli ...

Multimodal feature extraction and fusion for audio-visual speech recognition

Mihai Gurban

Multimodal signal processing analyzes a physical phenomenon through several types of measures, or modalities. This leads to the extraction of higher-quality and more reliable information than that obtained from single-modality signals. The advantage is two ...

Probabilistic models for music

Jean-François Paiement

This thesis proposes to analyse symbolic musical data under a statistical viewpoint, using state-of-the-art machine learning techniques. Our main argument is to show that it is possible to design generative models that are able to predict and to generate m ...

Blind Audiovisual Separation based on Redundant Representations

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gianluca Monaci, Rémi Gribonval, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

In this work we present a method to perform a complete audiovisual source separation without need of previous information. This method is based on the assumption that sounds are caused by moving structures. Thus, an efficient representation of audio and vi ...

Blind Audiovisual Source Separation Using Sparse Representations

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gianluca Monaci, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

In this work we present a method to jointly separate active audio and visual structures on a given mixture. Blind Audiovisual Source Separation is achieved exploiting the coherence between a video signal and a one-microphone audio track. The efficient repr ...

Feature extraction of musical content for automatic music transcription

Ruohua Zhou

The purpose of this thesis is to develop new methods for automatic transcription of melody and harmonic parts of real-life music signal. Music transcription is here defined as an act of analyzing a piece of music signal and writing down the parameter repre ...

Introducing SMURF: a software system for monitoring urban functionalities

André Musy, Alexandre Repetti, Marc Soutter

Urban land-use planning and management are in constant mutation throughout the world. With sustainability as a goal, the use of participative GIS is becoming more and more in demand. Given the willingness of local authorities to test participatory models a ...

Multimodal Speaker Localization in a Probabilistic Framework

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Mihai Gurban

A multimodal probabilistic framework is proposed for the problem of finding the active speaker in a video sequence. We localize the current speaker's mouth in the image by using the video and the audio channels together. We propose a novel visual feature t ...

Method and system for combining video sequences with spatio-temporal alignment

Martin Vetterli, Serge Ayer

Given two video sequences (IS1, IS2), a composite video sequence (15) can be generated which includes visual elements (A, B, 21) from each of the given sequences, suitably synchronized and represented in a chosen focal plane. For example, given two video s ...
