A Comparison of Human and Computational Melody Prediction Through Familiarity and Expertise

By

In early December, we published a new paper in Frontiers in Psychology, dealing with the human melody prediction—specifically a comparison between musicians and non-musicians—and comparing it to machine predictors. A full paper is available here: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2020.557398/full ABSTRACT: Melody prediction is an important aspect of music listening. The success of prediction, i.e., whether the next note played in a song is…

Extending the Troubadour platform: Motivating students for ear-training with a rhythmic dictation application

By

A month ago we published our second paper on the development and evaluation of the Troubadour platform. We developed a rhythmic dictation application and published ISMIR conference paper and a journal paper (both available below in full-text form). ISMIR Paper: The Rhythmic Dictator: Does Gamification of Rhythm Dictation Exercises Help?: https://program.ismir2020.net/poster_4-04.html ABSTRACT: We present the development and evaluation of a…

Troubadour platform – IEEE Access paper published

By

We have been working on the troubadour platform – an online web-based e-learning platform for ear training. In this research, we have been collaborating with the teachers and the students from the Conservatory for music and ballet, Ljubljana. Our work was also recognised by the IEEE Spectrum magazine, where I had a short interview about the platform (https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/computing/software/interactive-elearning-platform-boosts-performance-of-new-musicians)

Compositional hierarchical model for rhythmic pattern analysis

By

We recently published another paper on the compositional hierarchical model. In an attempt to further generalise the model, we adjusted and applied it to rhythmic input. The model showed promising results; while it was trained unsupervisedly, it identified basic rhythmic patterns. Moreover, it adjusted to live music (live performance) where it unsupervisedly discriminated between different meters. Quite awesome! The full…

Avtolog.si – a half-year report

By

It has been about 6 months since Vid and I started the https://avtolog.si website. Many things have happened since the early beginnings. Although we have not yet focused on the usability aspect yet (in proper web-oriented terms), we have added quite a few nice features to the website. In March, we added additional data about the success rate of individual…

Avtolog.si – for safer and transparent car market

By

It all started with coffee. My colleague Vid and I met for coffee and brainstorming on a sunny Sunday afternoon last August. We talked about what kind of project we could start together. Both full of ideas and seeing potential everywhere, we had to narrow it down to 1-2 ideas we were going to work on in the following months.…
