Areas of Study
The study of CA could be roughly divided into the following sub-problems:
- Representation: signal and symbolic. This aspect deals with time-frequency representations, both in terms of notes and spectral models, including pattern playback and audio texture.
- Feature extraction: sound descriptors, segmentation, onset, pitch and envelope detection, chroma, and auditory representations.
- Musical knowledge structures: analysis of tonality, rhythm, and harmonies.
- Sound similarity: methods for comparison between sounds, sound identification, novelty detection, segmentation, and clustering.
- Sequence modeling: matching and alignment between signals and note sequences.
- Source separation: methods of grouping of simultaneous sounds, such as multiple pitch detection and time-frequency clustering methods.
- Auditory cognition: modeling of emotions, anticipation and familiarity, auditory surprise, and analysis of musical structure.
- Multi-modal analysis: finding correspondences between textual, visual, and audio signals.

Famous quotes containing the words areas of, areas and/or study:
“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
“The planet on which we live is poorly organized, many areas are overpopulated, others are reserved for a few, technology’s potential is only in part realized, and most people are starving.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“I have always thought that one man of tolerable abilities may work great changes, and accomplish great affairs among mankind, if he first forms a good plan, and, cutting off all amusements or other employments that would divert his attention, make the execution of that same plan his sole study and business.”
—Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
