Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for determining an auditory pattern associated with an audio segment, comprising: receiving, by a processor, a first plurality of frequency components that describe the audio segment in terms of frequency and magnitude, wherein each of the first plurality of frequency components corresponds to one of a plurality of detector locations on an auditory scale; determining an average intensity pattern function at each of a first plurality of detector locations on the auditory scale, wherein the average intensity pattern function is determined using at least one of the first plurality of frequency components; determining a second plurality of frequency components, wherein the second plurality of frequency components is determined based on at least one of the average intensity pattern function and the first plurality of frequency components, wherein locations of the second plurality of frequency components are time-varying; determining a detector location subset based on the average intensity pattern function; and determining an auditory pattern based on at least one of the second plurality of frequency subset components and the detector location subset.
