Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) are one of the cornerstones of musical acoustic experimental research. They describe the way in which musical instruments vibrate in a wide range of frequencies and are used to predict and understand the acoustic differences between them. In the specific case of stringed musical instruments such as violins, FRFs evaluated at the bridge are known to capture the overall body vibration. These indicators, also called bridge admittances, are widely used in the literature for comparative analyses. However, due to their complex structure they are rather difficult to quantitatively compare and study. In this manuscript we present a way to quantify differences between FRFs, in particular violin bridge admittances, that separates the effects in frequency, amplitude and quality factor of the first resonance peaks characterizing the responses. This approach allows us to define a distance between FRFs and clusterise measurements according to this distance. We use two case studies, one based on Finite Element Analysis and another exploiting measurements on real violins, to prove the effectiveness of such representation. In particular, for simulated bridge admittances the proposed distance is able to highlight the different impact of consecutive simulation `steps on specific vibrational properties and, for real violins, gives a first insight on similar styles of making, as well as opposite ones.
Audio classification using breath and cough samples has recently emerged as a low-cost, non-invasive, and accessible COVID-19 screening method. However, no application has been approved for official use at the time of writing due to the stringent rel
We present a feature engineering pipeline for the construction of musical signal characteristics, to be used for the design of a supervised model for musical genre identification. The key idea is to extend the traditional two-step process of extracti
We introduce Surfboard, an open-source Python library for extracting audio features with application to the medical domain. Surfboard is written with the aim of addressing pain points of existing libraries and facilitating joint use with modern machi
In this paper, a special decision surface for the weakly-supervised sound event detection (SED) and a disentangled feature (DF) for the multi-label problem in polyphonic SED are proposed. We approach SED as a multiple instance learning (MIL) problem
In this study, we train deep neural networks to classify composer on a symbolic domain. The model takes a two-channel two-dimensional input, i.e., onset and note activations of time-pitch representation, which is converted from MIDI recordings and pe
