Unheard but Recognizable: Ultrasonic Signatures for Musical Instrument Recognition
Izhak Kapash, Uri Rom, Ram Zamir
Musical-instrument recognition is a fundamental music information retrieval (MIR) task supporting transcription, source separation, and audio understanding. Despite significant alg…
Copying Versus Randomization in Lempel-Ziv Music Synthesis
Nadav Mishan, Ram Zamir
We utilize Lempel-Ziv universal compression for music note generation. We control the algorithm's tendency to over-copy or under-copy training data by manipulating the average sequ…
Exploration-Exploitation Tradeoff in Universal Lossy Compression
Nir Weinberger, Ram Zamir
Universal compression can learn the source and adapt to it either in a batch mode (forward adaptation), or in a sequential mode (backward adaptation). We recast the sequential mode…
Alternate Learning and Compression Approaching R(D)
Ram Zamir, Kenneth Rose
The inherent trade-off in on-line learning is between exploration and exploitation. A good balance between these two (conflicting) goals can achieve a better long-term performance.…
