Harmonic Syntax in Time: Rhythm Improves Grammatical Models of Harmony

Music is hierarchically structured, both in how it is perceived by listeners and how it is composed. Such structure can be elegantly captured using probabilistic grammatical models similar to those used to study natural language. They address the complexit ...

The pleasantness of sensory dissonance is mediated by musical style and expertise

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Fabian Claude Moss, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Tudor Popescu

Western musical styles use a large variety of chords and vertical sonorities. Based on objective acoustical properties, chords can be situated on a dissonant-consonant continuum. While this might to some extent converge with the unpleasant-pleasant continu ...

Transitions of Tonality: A Model-Based Corpus Study

Fabian Claude Moss

Tonality has been the cornerstone of Western music-theoretical discourse for centuries. This study addresses the subject, using traditional music analysis, data-driven corpus methods, and computational models, concentrating on historical changes of tonalit ...

Generalized Skipgrams for Pattern Discovery in Polyphonic Streams

Martin Alois Rohrmeier, Markus Franz Josef Neuwirth, Christoph Finkensiep

The discovery of patterns using a minimal set of assumptions constitutes a central challenge in the modeling of polyphonic music and complex streams in general. Skipgrams have been found to be a powerful model for capturing semi-local dependencies in seque ...

Music Learning with Long Short Term Memory Networks

Florian François Colombo

Humans are able to learn and compose complex, yet beautiful, pieces of music as seen in e.g. the highly complicated works of J.S. Bach. However, how our brain is able to store and produce these very long temporal sequences is still an open question. Long s ...

Syllabic Pitch Tuning for Neutral-to-Emotional Voice Conversion

Milos Cernak, Lakshmi Babu Saheer

Prosody plays an important role in both identification and synthesis of emotionalized speech. Prosodic features like pitch are usually estimated and altered at a segmental level based on short windows of speech (where the signal is expected to be quasi-sta ...

Using the Physics of Notations Theory to Evaluate the Visual Notation of SEAM

Alain Wegmann, George Popescu

Modeling languages are used to make models that are commonly used in communicating about real-life situations such as the modeling of business and IT requirements in organizations. A way to evaluate how effective the modeling languages are for communicatin ...

Guessing the fingerings from musical recordings

Paolo Prandoni, Arnaud Latty, Frederike Dümbgen

Synopsis: This project is about using musical recordings of string instruments to determine on which strings notes have been played. It includes the study of the spectral content of the recordings and the development of a robust classifica ...

Assessment of Foot Signature Using Wearable Sensors for Clinical Gait Analysis and Real-Time Activity Recognition

Benoît Mariani

Locomotion is one of the most important abilities of humans. Actually, gait locomotion provides mobility, and symbolizes freedom and independence. However, gait can be affected by several pathologies, due to aging, neurodegenerative disease, or trauma. The ...

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 ...
