I547/B659 MUSIC INFORMATION PROCESSING: AUDIO


Course Introduction

This course deals with various music analysis and processing problems that use sampled audio as the primary data representation. We discuss, but do not emphasize, digital signal processing including filtering and its relationship to Fourier techniques. We will focus on applications including score following (online and offline), automatic music transcription and annotation from audio, musical accompaniment systems, as well as some useful audio effects. The class is open to all graduate students, but students should be prepared for some mathematics, computer science and statistics.
