Papers and posters of interest in this coming ISMIR

ISMIR is around the corner - the program is up.

In relation to AMII - these look interesting:

• "Musical Instrument Recognition using Biologically Inspired Filtering of Temporal Dictionary Atoms", Steven K. Tjoa and K.J. Ray Liu (My thanks to Steven for emailing me a copy of this today)
• "YAAFE, an Easy to Use and Efficient Audio Feature Extraction Software", Benoit Mathieu, Slim Essid, Thomas Fillon, Jacques Prado and Gaël Richard

The YAAFE toolbox is available here with an extension module here. Of the extension features, the SpectralIrregularity seems the most interesting IMO.

The available features in YAAFE basic are:

• AmplitudeModulation
• AutoCorrelation
• ComplexDomainOnsetDetection
• Energy
• Envelope
• EnvelopeShapeStatistics
• Frames
• LPC
• LSF
• Loudness
• MFCC
• MagnitudeSpectrum
• OBSI
• OBSIR
• PerceptualSharpness
• PerceptualSpread
• SpectralCrestFactorPerBand
• SpectralDecrease
• SpectralFlatness
• SpectralFlatnessPerBand
• SpectralFlux
• SpectralRolloff
• SpectralShapeStatistics
• SpectralSlope
• SpectralVariation
• TemporalShapeStatistics
• ZCR

Available feature transforms:

• AutoCorrelationPeaksIntegrator
• Cepstrum
• Derivate
• HistogramIntegrator
• SlopeIntegrator
• StatisticalIntegrator

AND TO THINK OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME I SPENT WRITING CODE TO EXTRACT THESE FEATURES!!!!
