• Instance-based generalization for human judgments about uncertainty

  Schustek, Philipp; Moreno Bote, Rubén (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2018)

  While previous studies have shown that human behavior adjusts in response to uncertainty, it is still not well understood how uncertainty is estimated and represented. As probability distributions are high dimensional ...
• Visual stimulation quenches global alpha range activity in awake primate V4: a case study

  Deneux, Thomas; Masquelier, Timothée; Bermudez, Maria A.; Masson, Guillaume S.; Deco, Gustavo; Vanzetta, Ivo (Society of Photo Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE), 2017)

  Increasing evidence suggests that sensory stimulation not only changes the level of cortical activity with respect to baseline but also its structure. Despite having been reported in a multitude of conditions and preparations ...
• Tonal representations for music retrieval: from version identification to query-by-humming

  Salomon, Justin; Serrà Julià, Joan; Gómez Gutiérrez, Emilia, 1975- (Springer, 2013)

  In this study we compare the use of different music representations for retrieving alternative performances of the same musical piece, a task commonly referred to as version identification. Given the audio signal of a song, ...
• Faust Music On Line (FMOL): an approach to real-time collective composition on the Internet

  Jordà Puig, Sergi (MIT Press, 1999)

  Collective creation and the production of open and continuously evolving works are, according to the author, two of the major and more appealing artistic breakthroughs the Internet can offer to composers and creators in ...
• Displaced soundScapes: a survey of network systems for music and sonic art creation

  Barbosa, Álvaro (MIT Press, 2003)

  The ubiquitous nature of communication in computer networks, firmly manifested in the Internet era, provided a context for the introduction of different collaborative tools widely accepted by the on-line community, such ...
• Ethics in educational technology research: Informing participants on data sharing risks

  Beardsley, Marc; Santos Rodríguez, Patrícia; Hernández Leo, Davinia; Michos, Konstantinos (Wiley, 2019)

  Participants in educational technology research regularly share personal data which carries with it risks. Informing participants of these data sharing risks is often only done so through text contained within a consent ...
• Discourse-driven argument mining in scientific abstracts

  Accuosto, Pablo; Saggion, Horacio (Springer, 2019)

  Argument mining consists in the automatic identification of argumentative structures in texts. In this work we address the open question of whether discourse-level annotations can contribute to facilitate the identification ...
• 20 years of playlists: A statistical analysis on popularity and diversity

  Porcaro, Lorenzo; Gómez Gutiérrez, Emilia, 1975- (International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR), 2019)

  Grouping songs together, according to music preferences, mood or other characteristics, is an activity which reflects personal listening behaviours and tastes. In the last two decades, due to the increasing size of music ...
• Audio watermarking and fingerprinting for which applications?

  Gomes, Leandro de C.T.; Cano Vila, Pedro; Gómez Gutiérrez, Emilia, 1975-; Bonnet, Madeleine; Batlle i Mont, Eloi (Taylor & Francis, 2003)

  Although not a new issue, music piracy has acquired a new status in the digital era, as recordings can be easily copied and distributed. Watermarking has been proposed as a solution to this problem. It consists in embedding ...
• Content-based transformations

  Amatriain, Xavier; Bonada, Jordi, 1973-; Loscos, Àlex; Arcos, Josep Lluís; Verfaille, Vincent (Taylor & Francis, 2003)
