Aiming at optimal prediction of the correct note corresponding to a vocal time series we trained a classification algorithm on the basis of parts of interpretations of Tochter Zion (Händel) and tested the algorithm on the remaining parts. As classification algorithm we use a radial basis...

Based on former work on automatic transcription of musical time series into sheet music (Ligges et al. (2002), Weihs and Ligges (2003, 2005)) in this paper parameters of the transcription algorithm are optimized for various real singers. Moreover, the parameters of various artificial singer...

Local and more and more global musical structure is analyzed from audio time series by time-series-event analysis with the aim of automatic sheet music production and comparison of singers. Note events are determined and classified based on local spectra, and rules of bar events are identified...

In many applications it is required to segment a time series into its locally stationary parts. Two applications are presented: As a first example consider online monitoring of a BTA Deep-Hole-Drilling process. Here chattering and spiralling of the drilling tool should be avoided by process...

This paper investigates the use of Design of Experiments in observational studies in order to select informative observations and features for classification. D-optimal plans are searched for in existing data and based on these plans the variables most relevant for classification are determined....

This paper describes an approach for selecting instances in regression problems in the cases where observations x are readily available, but obtaining labels y is hard. Given a database of observations, an algorithm inspired by statistical design of experiments and kernel methods is presented...

This paper is based on an article of Pumplün et al. (2005a) that investigates the use of Design of Experiments in data bases in order to select variables that are relevant for classification in situations where a sufficient number of measurements of the explanatory variables is available, but...
