  • A multipitch approach to tonic identification in Indian classical music
    Salamon, Justin; Gulati, Sankalp; Serra, Xavier (International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR), 2012)
    The tonic is a fundamental concept in Indian classical music/nsince it constitutes the base pitch from which a lead/nperformer constructs the melodies, and accompanying instruments/nuse it for tuning. This makes tonic ...
  • A Musically aware system for browsing and interacting with audio music collections

    In the context of the CompMusic project we are developing methods to automatically describe/annotate audio music recordings pertaining to various music cultures. As a/nway to demonstrate the usefulness of the methods we ...
  • A proposal for the description of audio in the context of MPEG-7
    Herrera Boyer, Perfecto, 1964-; Serra, Xavier; Peeters, Geoffroy (1999)
    Sound content description is one of the aims of the MPEG-7 initiative. Although MPEG-7 focuses on indexing and retrieval of audio, there are other sound content-based processing applications waiting to be developed once ...
  • A real-time system for measuring sound goodness in instrumental sounds
    Romani Picas, Oriol; Parra Rodríguez, Hèctor; Dabiri, Dara; Tokuda, Hiroshi; Hariya, Wataru; Oishi, Koji; Serra, Xavier (Audio Engineering Society, 2015)
    This paper presents a system that complements the functionality of a typical tuner by evaluating the sound quality of a music performer in real-time. It consists of a software tool that computes a score of how well single ...
  • A Roadmap for sound and music computing
    Serra, Xavier; Leman, Marc; Widmer, Gerhard (The S2S Consortium, 2007)
    Music is an important aspect of all human cultures. Music is meant to give new experiences, to give sense and meaning to life, to console and to promote social coherence and personal identity in and across very diverse ...
  • A score-informed computational description of svaras using a statistical model
    Sentürk, Sertan; Koduri, Gopala Krishna; Serra, Xavier (Zentrum für Mikrotonale Musik und Multimediale Komposition (ZM4) Hochschule für Musik und Theate, 2016)
    Musical notes are often modeled as a discrete sequence of points on a frequency spectrum with possibly different interval sizes such as just-intonation. Computational descriptions abstracting the pitch content in audio ...
  • A semantic hybrid approach for sound recommendation
    Ostuni, Vito Claudio; Di Noia, Tommaso; Di Sciascio, Eugenio; Oramas, Sergio; Serra, Xavier (ACM Association for Computer Machinery, 2015)
    In this work we describe a hybrid recommendation approach for recommending sounds to users by exploiting and semantically enriching textual information such as tags and sounds descriptions. As a case study we used Freesound, ...
  • A semantic-based approach for artist similarity
    Oramas, Sergio; Sordo, Mohamed; Espinosa-Anke, Luis; Serra, Xavier (International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR), 2015)
    This paper describes and evaluates a method for computing artist similarity from a set of artist biographies. The/nproposed method aims at leveraging semantic information present in these biographies, and can be divided ...
  • A Simple fusion of deep and shallow learning for acoustic scene classification
    Fonseca, Eduardo; Gong, Rong; Serra, Xavier (Cyprus University of Technology, 2018)
    In the past, Acoustic Scene Classification systems havebeen based on hand crafting audio features that are input toa classifier. Nowadays, the common trend is to adopt datadriven techniques, e.g., deep learning, where audio ...
  • A study of control methods for percussive sound synthesis based on gans
    Ramires, António; Juras, Jordan; Parker, Julian D.; Serra, Xavier (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2022)
    The process of creating drum sounds has seen significant evolution in the past decades. The development of analogue drum synthesizers, such as the TR-808, and modern sound design tools in Digital Audio Workstations led to ...
  • A study of instrument-wise onset detection in Beijing Opera percussion ensembles
    Tian, Mi; Srinivasamurthy, Ajay; Sandler, Mark; Serra, Xavier (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
    Note onset detection and instrument recognition are two of the most investigated tasks in Music Information Retrieval (MIR). Various detection methods have been proposed in previous research for western music, with less ...
  • A supervised approach to hierarchical metrical cycle tracking from audio music recordings
    Srinivasamurthy, Ajay; Serra, Xavier (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
    A supervised approach to metrical cycle tracking from audio is presented,/nwith a main focus on tracking the tāḷa, the hierarchical cyclic/nmetrical structure in Carnatic music. Given the tāḷa of a piece, we aim/nto estimate ...
  • A system for sound analysis/transformation/synthesis based on a deterministic plus stochastic decomposition
    Serra, Xavier (Stanford University, 1989)
    This dissertation introduces a new analysis/synthesis method. It is designed to obtain musically useful intermediate representations for sound transformations. The method’s underlying model assumes that a sound is composed ...
  • A tool for the analysis and discovery of Ottoman-Turkish Makam music
    Sentürk, Sertan; Ferraro, Andrés; Porter, Alastair; Serra, Xavier (International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR), 2016)
    We present a web application for the analysis and discovery of Ottoman-Turkish makam music. The tool uses an audio-score alignment methodology developed for this music culture for the analysis. It stores the data to be ...
  • A two-stage approach for tonic identification in indian art music
    Gulati, Sankalp; Salamon, Justin; Serra, Xavier (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2012)
    In this paper we propose a new approach for tonic identification in Indian art music and present a proposal for a/ncomplete iterative system for the same. Our method splits the task of tonic pitch identification into two ...
  • A Wavenet for speech denoising
    Rethage, Dario; Pons Puig, Jordi; Serra, Xavier (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018)
    Most speech processing techniques use magnitude spectrograms as front-end and are therefore by default discarding part of the signal: the phase. In order to overcome this limitation' we propose an end-to-end learning method ...
  • A web interface for a sound database and processing system
    Loureiro, Ramon; Serra, Xavier (International Computer Music Conference, 1997)
    The World Wide Web has brought the possibility of distributing multimedia objects through the Internet, becoming a very interesting platform for the development of innovative music and audio applications. Apart from the ...
  • Acoustic cues to beat induction. A machine learning perspective
    Gouyon, Fabien; Widmer, Gerhard; Serra, Xavier; Flexer, Arthur (University of California Press, 2006)
