  • A Collection of music scores for corpus based jingju singing research
    Caro Repetto, Rafael; Serra, Xavier (International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR), 2017)
    The MIR research on jingju (also known as Beijing or Peking opera) music has taken audio as the main source of information. Music scores are an important resource for the musicological research of this tradition, but no ...
  • A comparison of pitch chroma extraction algorithms
    Pérez Fernández, Miguel; Kirchhoff, Holger; Serra, Xavier (SMC Network, 2022)
    The pitch chroma is a popular way to represent pitch information in an octave independent way, with applications in automatic chord recognition, cover song identification, audio-to-score alignment, and others. Early chroma ...

    Gouyon, Fabien (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2005-11-30)
    Aquesta dissertació tracta del ritme musical. Més exactamente, tracta de programes informàtics que extreuen automàticament descripcions rítmiques a partir de senyals musicals d'àudio.<br/>Presentem nous algorismes per a ...
  • A computational approach to studying interdependence in string quartet performance
    Papiotis, Panagiotis, 1985- (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2016-02-01)
    This dissertation proposes a computational data-driven methodology to measure music ensemble interdependence - the degree to which musicians interact and influence each other’s actions in order to achieve a shared goal - ...
  • A Computer model for bar percussion instruments
    Serra, Xavier (International Computer Music Conference, 1986)
    This paper presents a computer model for bar percussion instruments that captures their main physical characteristics in a very flexible structure. The starting point is current knowledge of the acoustics of the instruments. ...
  • A corpus for computational research of Turkish Makam music
    Uyar, Burak; Atli, Hasan Sercan; Sentürk, Sertan; Bozkurt, Baris; Serra, Xavier (ACM Association for Computer Machinery, 2014)
    Each music tradition has its own characteristics in terms of melodic, rhythmic and timbral properties as well as semantic understandings. To analyse, discover and explore these culture-specific characteristics, we need ...
  • A Data-driven bayesian approach to automatic rhythm analysis of indian art music
    Srinivasamurthy, Ajay (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2016-11-17)
    Las colecciones de música son cada vez mayores y más variadas, haciendo necesarias nuevas fórmulas para su organización automática. El análisis automático del ritmo tiene como fin la extracción de información rítmica de ...
  • A Dataset of rhythmic pattern reproductions and baseline automatic assessment system
    Falcao, Felipe; Bozkurt, Baris; Serra, Xavier; Andrade, Nazareno; Baysal, Ozan (International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR), 2019)
    This work presents a novel dataset comprised of audio and jury evaluations for rhythmic pattern reproduction performances by students applying for a conservatory. Data was collected in-loco during entrance exams where ...
  • A deep multimodal approach for cold-start music recommendation
    Oramas, Sergio; Nieto Caballero, Oriol; Sordo, Mohamed; Serra, Xavier (ACM Association for Computer Machinery, 2017)
    An increasing amount of digital music is being published daily. Music streaming services often ingest all available music, but this poses a challenge: how to recommend new artists for which prior knowledge is scarce? In ...
  • A diffusion-inspired training strategy for singing voice extraction in the waveform domain
    Plaja-Roglans, Genís; Miron, Marius; Serra, Xavier (2022-09-22)
    Notable progress in music source separation has been achieved using multi-branch networks that operate on both temporal and spectral domains. However, such networks tend to be complex and heavy-weighted. In this work, we ...
  • A generalized Bayesian model for tracking long metrical cycles in acoustic music signals
    Srinivasamurthy, Ajay; Holzapfel, Andre; Cemgil, Ali Taylan; Serra, Xavier (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016)
    Most musical phenomena involve repetitive structures that enable listeners to track meter, i.e. the tactus or beat, the longer over-arching measure or bar, and possibly other related layers. Meters with long measure duration, ...
  • A Genetic rule-based expressive performance model for jazz saxophone
    Ramírez, Rafael,1966-; Hazan, Amaury; Maestre Gómez, Esteban; Serra, Xavier (MIT Press, 2008)
    We describe an evolutionary approach to inducing a generative model of expressive music performance for Jazz saxophone. We begin with a collection of audio recordings of real Jazz saxophone performances from which we extract ...
  • A knowledge based signal processing approach to tonic identification in indian classical music
    Bellur, Ashwin; Ishwar, Vignesh; Serra, Xavier; Murthy, Hema A. (Universitat Pompeu Fabra, 2012)
    In this paper, we describe several techniques for detecting tonic pitch value in Indian classical music. In Indian music, the raga is the basic melodic framework and it is built on the tonic. Tonic detection is therefore ...
  • A knowledge-based approach to computational analysis of melody in Indian art music
    Serra, Xavier; Koduri, Gopala Krishna (2013)
    Knowledge representation technologies developed in the semantic web context can be utilized to bridge the gap between music information research and disciplines like musicology and music theory. This will greatly enhance ...
