• Potential and pitfalls of multi-armed bandits for decentralized spatial reuse in WLANs

  Wilhelmi Roca, Francesc; Barrachina Muñoz, Sergio; Bellalta, Boris; Cano Bastidas, Cristina; Jonsson, Anders, 1973-; Neu, Gergely (Elsevier, 2019)

  Spatial Reuse (SR) has recently gained attention to maximize the performance of IEEE 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Decentralized mechanisms are expected to be key in the development of SR solutions for ...
• Melody extraction from polyphonic music signal susing pitch contour characteristics

  Salamon, Justin J.; Gómez Gutiérrez, Emilia, 1975- (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)

  We present a novel system for the automatic extraction of the main melody from polyphonic music recordings. Our approach is based on the creation and characterisation of pitch contours, time continuous sequences of pitch ...
• Selective sampling for beat tracking evaluation

  Holzapfel, Andre; Davies, Matthew E. P.; Zapata, José R.; Lobato Oliveira, João; Gouyon, Fabien (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)

  In this paper, we propose a method that can identify challenging music samples for beat tracking without ground truth. Our method, motivated by the machine learning method “selective sampling,” is based on the measurement ...
• We perceive music before we understand speech

  Purwins, Hendrick (Elsevier, 2010)
• Rhythmic concatenative synthesis for electronic music: techniques, implementation, and evaluation

  Nuanáin, Cárthach Ó; Herrera Boyer, Perfecto, 1964-; Jordà Puig, Sergi (MIT Press, 2017)

  In this article, we summarize recent research examining concatenative synthesis and its application and relevance in the composition and production of styles of electronic dance music. We introduce the conceptual underpinnings ...
• Towards computer-assisted flamenco transcription: an experimental comparison of automatic transcription algorithms as applied to a cappella singing

  Gómez Gutiérrez, Emilia, 1975-; Bonada, Jordi, 1973- (MIT Press, 2013)

  This article deals with automatic transcription of flamenco music recordings—more specifically, a cappella singing. We first study the specifics of flamenco singing and propose a transcription system based on fundamental ...
• Improved high dynamic range video coding with a nonlinearity based on natural image statistics

  Sugito, Yasuko; Cyriac, Praveen; Kane, David; Bertalmío, Marcelo (International Journal of Signal Processing Systems, 2017)
• Zipf’s law in short-time timbral codings of speech, music, and environmental sound signals

  Haro Berois, Martín; Serrà Julià, Joan; Herrera Boyer, Perfecto, 1964-; Corral, Álvaro (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2012)

  Timbre is a key perceptual feature that allows discrimination between different sounds. Timbral sensations are highly dependent on the temporal evolution of the power spectrum of an audio signal. In order to quantitatively ...
• The Complex network of musical tastes

  Buldú, Javier M.; Cano Vila, Pedro; Koppenberger, Markus; Almendral, Juan A.; Boccaletti, Stefano (IOP Publishing Ltd, 2007)

  We present an empirical study of the evolution of a social network constructed under the influence of musical tastes. The network is obtained thanks to the selfless effort of a broad community of users who share playlists ...
• A microtonal tuning method: test & discussion on the use of microtonal intervals for the performance of traditional Turkish music
