The Curse Of Gissity In The Audio Analysis System

Decent Essays

The short-term window sizes range from 20 to 100 ms. Another alternative is to process the feature sequence on a mid-term basis where the audio signal is first divided into segments and for every mid-segment, the feature sequence is used for computing feature statistics. The mid-term segment can vary from 1 to 10 seconds. For long recordings, the average of the mid-term features is carried out so that the whole signal can be presented with the average vector of mid-term statistics. Secondly in tempo-related features, the calculation of musical beats is considered significant. for example: music information retrieval. A local maxima detection procedure is applied on a set of short term features and the histogram is computed between …show more content…

Dimensionality of data can be reduced by neglecting components which do not contribute much to variance. After the data is centered, the principal components are obtained and denoted by u1 and u2. The length of the new coordinates is relative to the energy contained in their eigenvectors. The rule of thumb is to choose principal component in such a way so that the cumulative energy is above a certain threshold, typically 90%. PCA allows us to retrieve the original data matrix by projecting the data onto the new coordinate system X′. The new data matrix X′ contains most of the information of the original X with a dimensionality reduction.

Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is a powerful technique for dimensionality reduction. It is a particular approach of Matrix Factorization which is related to PCA. SVD is essentially trying to reduce a rank R matrix to a rank K matrix. Because SVD allows to automatically derive semantic “concepts” in a low dimensional space, it is used as the basis of the latent-semantic analysis, a very popular technique for text classification in Information Retrieval. The core of the SVD algorithm lies in the following theorem: It is always possible to decompose a given matrix A into A =UλVT . Given the n×m matrix data A (n items, m features), we can obtain an n×r matrix U (n items, r concepts), an r×r diagonal matrix λ (strength of each concept), and an m×r matrix V
