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 ambiguous, gray areas of authority and responsibility between parents and teachers exacerbate the distrust between them. The distrust is further complicated by the fact that it is rarely articulated, but usually remains smoldering and silent.”
—Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
“Surely the one thing needful for a Christian and an Englishman to study is Christian and moral and political philosophy, and then we should see our way a little more clearly without falling into Judaism, or Toryism, or Jacobinism, or any other ism whatever.”
—Thomas Arnold (1795–1842)
