Automatic Ontology Generation Based On Semantic Audio Analysis
(Queen Mary University of London, 2014-03-17)Ontologies provide an explicit conceptualisation of a domain and a uniform framework that represents domain knowledge in a machine interpretable format. The Semantic Web heavily relies on ontologies to provide well-defined ... -
Computational Modelling and Analysis of Vibrato and Portamento in Expressive Music Performance
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-04-26)Vibrato and portamento constitute two expressive devices involving continuous pitch modulation and is widely employed in string, voice, wind music instrument performance. Automatic extraction and analysis of such expressive ... -
Computational Modelling and Quantitative Analysis of Dynamics in Performed Music
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-11-07)Musical dynamics- loudness and changes in loudness - forms one of the key aspects of expressive music performance. Surprisingly this rather important research area has received little attention. A reason is the fact that ... -
A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Music Structure
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-10-01)Music signal analysis is a research field concerning the extraction of meaningful information from musical audio signals. This thesis analyses the music signals from the note-level to the song-level in a bottom-up manner ... -
Explaining Listener Differences in the Perception of Musical Structure
(Explaining Listener Di erences in the Perception of Musical Structure, 2014-10-17)State-of-the-art models for the perception of grouping structure in music do not attempt to account for disagreements among listeners. But understanding these disagreements, sometimes regarded as noise in psychological ... -
Intelligent Tools for Multitrack Frequency and Dynamics Processing
(Queen Mary University of London, 2016-06-05)This research explores the possibility of reproducing mixing decisions of a skilled audio engineer with minimal human interaction that can improve the overall listening experience of musical mixtures, i.e., intelligent ... -
The Intermediate Detector and Neutrino Phenomenology of the Hyper-Kamiokande Experiment
(Queen Mary University of London, 05/10/2018)In this thesis, a number of aspects of neutrino oscillation physics are investigated, focusing on the design and phenomenology of next generation neutrino beam experiments. In working to optimise the sensitivity of the ... -
The proteome of neurofilament-containing heteroaggregates in blood as source of biomarkers for neurodegeneration
(Queen Mary University of London, 13/03/2019)The lack of effective disease-modifying treatments and of means to achieve an early diagnosis strongly support the search for reliable neurochemical biomarkers in neurological conditions like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ... -
Supplementary Material for thesis ‘Instruments and access: The role of instruments in music and disability’
In the past several decades, society’s understanding of disability has progressed from an individualised model based on functional limitations, to the identification of disabling barriers in society which are imposed upon ... -
Towards a better understanding of mix engineering
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-09-05)This thesis explores how the study of realistic mixes can expand current knowledge about multitrack music mixing. An essential component of music production, mixing remains an esoteric matter with few established best ... -
Towards the Automatic Analysis of Metric Modulations
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-08-03)The metrical structure is a fundamental aspect of music, yet its automatic analysis from audio recordings remains one of the great challenges of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) research. This thesis is concerned with ... -
Violin Augmentation Techniques for Learning Assistance
(Queen Mary University of London, 2017-06-21)Learning violin is a challenging task requiring execution of pitch tasks with the left hand using a strong aural feedback loop for correctly adjusting pitch, concurrent with the right hand moving a bow precisely with ...
