Overlapped speech and music segmentation using singular spectrum analysis and random forests
… volumes of digital media archives and an enormous amount of user-contributed content. As demand for indexing and searching these resources has increased, and new technologies such as multimedia content management systems, en-hanced digital broadcasting, and semantic web have …

Speech/Music Discrimination: Novel Features in Time Domain
… that can be used to discriminate between speech and music in the time domain for the purpose of data retrieval. The study used speech and music data that were recorded in standard anechoic chambers and sampled at 44.1 kHz. Two types of new features were found and thoroughly examined: the …

Audio super-resolution with deep neural networks
… deep networks are able to discover patterns in speech and music signals by working in both time and frequency domains jointly. Such a network structure outperforms other methods that work either in the time domain or frequency domain exclusively. In our evaluations with speech signals, our …

Emotion Recognition from Speech Signals and Perception of Music
This thesis deals with emotion recognition from speech signals. The feature extraction step shall be improved by looking at the perception of music. In music theory, different pitch intervals (consonant, dissonant) and chords are believed to invoke different feelings in listeners. The question is …

AudioCNN: Audio Event Classification With Deep Learning Based Multi-Channel Fusion Networks
… applications, especially in audio fields like speech and music. Recent research works have proven spectral images based on deep learning models for better performance than standard methods. This thesis intends to design a fusion system by combining various audio features, including Spectrogram …

An Integrated Magnetoencephalographic and Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study on Temporal Asymmetry Processing in the Human Auditory Cortex
Temporal asymmetry is a fundamental property of speech and music. When a "damped" exponential is used to modulate a sinusoid, it reduces the sound quality typically associated with the carrier. When the modulator is reversed in time, producing a "ramped" sound, the sound quality of the carrier is …

Automatic classification of electronic music and speech/music audio content
… potential for application in the maintenance and usage of large and constantly growing media databases; accordingly, much research has been done to demonstrate the feasibility of such methods. A popular topic is that of automatic genre classification, accomplished by training machine learning …

Hierarchy and invariance in auditory cortical computation
… challenge. Perception does not occur in the eyes and ears - indeed, nearly half of primate cortex is dedicated to it. While much is known about peripheral auditory processing, auditory cortex remains poorly understood. This thesis addresses basic questions about the functional and computational …

MUSIC TO OUR EYES: ASSESSING THE ROLE OF EXPERIENCE FOR MULTISENSORY INTEGRATION IN MUSIC PERCEPTION
… the “McGurk Effect” (McGurk & McDonald, 1976) in speech perception, some researchers (e.g. Liberman & Mattingly, 1985) have argued that humans uniquely interpret auditory and visual (motor) speech signals as a single intended audiovisual articulatory gesture, and that such multisensory integration …

Singing in Chaozhou: The Relationship between Tones and Songs
… word meanings; this raises questions of whether, and if so, in what ways and to what extent, the pitches and pitch patterns of tones are preserved when they are sung. This thesis explores the relationship between lexical tones and musical pitch in Chaozhou, a Southern Chinese language …

TELLING STORIES: AN ANALYSIS OF SPEECH-MELODY COMPOSITIONS AND AN ORIGINAL SPEECH-MELODY COMPOSITION FOR WIND ENSEMBLE
… thesis explores the compositional technique of speech melody and provides a brief historical overview of speech in music. This thesis also examines recent works (2005-2014) that have sourced their melodies from the spoken word and in turn creates an original composition for wind ensemble …
