Content-based Processing for Masking Minimization in Multi-track Recording
Creators: name: Vega, Sebastian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: An important task in music post-production is masking minimization. When minimizing masking, an audio engineer carefully crafts each instrument's sound into the audible spectrum and the stereo panorama. This is done in order to achieve an intelligible sonic mixture in which the intended role of each instrument can be clearly appreciated by the listener. As with the rest of the post-production chain, masking minimization is a task where both technology and creativity co-exist in equal proportions. This means that there is not a single right way of approaching the problem, but rather every engineer will have its own approach and personal taste. Nevertheless, based on the assumption that one possible approach to music post-production is entirely rule-based, recent research has been concentrated on the topic of Automatic Mixing of Music, focusing on areas such as automatic equalization, automatic stereo panning and automatic gain-control. Given that Masking minimization is a crucial aspect of multi-track down-mixing, this thesis is concerned with developing an intelligent audio system that is able to automatically minimize masking between the different acoustic sources that comprise a musical mix. Because auditory masking is a perceptual phenomenon, the system makes use of a computational model of perception to transform the audio signals into a perceptual domain. In this domain, masking can be detected and quantized. From this analysis stage, the processing parameters to minimize unwanted masking are obtained. The processing stage consists of an adaptive filter-bank that is able to equalize the tracks in a time-varying fashion. Because of the subjective nature of the results, a subjective test is performed in order to find the system parameters that result in positive evaluations from the listeners in an attempt to further understand the phenomenon of auditory masking in a musical context.

description: Through the bibliographic review, in the first chapters of this work, an attempt is made to explore the concepts of distance education and simulation. In addition, educational accounting simulations that are widely known and used today are analyzed and presented. Given the conditions of our daily life after the "forcing" of the rapid technological upgrade of courses in our country due to the pandemic, it was considered appropriate to study in the work presentation, the feasibility of distance education. We focus on a software that is relatively well-known in professional training circles and test its use, on different data. More specifically, its use in foreign language teaching is being studied. In order for this to be possible, 10 dialog scenarios are created which are simulated using the BranchTrack platform, which are part of ten teaching scenarios, concerning beginner level adult students. Along the way, the editor's opinions regarding the use of the platform are presented as well as various positive and negative aspects of its use. Finally, suggestions for further research and/or improvement and strengthening of the present mainly bibliographic process are listed.

description: In recent years, material-induced noise arising from defects has emerged as an impediment to quantum-limited measurement in systems ranging from microwave qubits to gravity wave interferometers. As experimental systems push to ever smaller dimensions, extrinsic system properties can affect its internal material dynamics. In this paper, we identify surprising new regimes of material physics (defect-phonon and defect-defect dynamics) that are produced by dimensional confinement. Our models show that a range of tell-tale signatures, encoded in the characteristics of defect-induced noise, dissipation, and nonlinearity, are profoundly altered by geometry. Building on this insight, we demonstrate that the magnitude and character of this material-induced noise is transformed in microscale systems, providing an opportunity to improve the fidelity of quantum measurements. Moreover, we show that many emerging nano-electromechanical, cavity optomechanical and superconducting resonator systems are poised to probe these new regimes of dynamics, in both high and low field limits, providing a new way to explore the fundamental tenets of glass physics.

description: Among the consequences of the disordered interaction topology underlying many social, techno- logical and biological systems, a particularly important one is that some nodes, just because of their position in the network, may have a disproportionate effect on dynamical processes mediated by the complex interaction pattern. For example, the early adoption by an opinion leader in a social network may change the fate of a commercial product, or just a few super-spreaders may determine the virality of a meme in social media. Despite many recent efforts, the formulation of an accurate method to optimally identify influential nodes in complex network topologies remains an unsolved challenge. Here, we present the exact solution of the problem for the specific, but highly relevant, case of the Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) model for epidemic spreading at criticality. By exploiting the mapping between bond percolation and the static properties of SIR, we prove that the recently introduced Non-Backtracking centrality is the optimal criterion for the identification of influential spreaders in locally tree-like networks at criticality. By means of simulations on synthetic networks and on a very extensive set of real-world networks, we show that the Non-Backtracking centrality is a highly reliable metric to identify top influential spreaders also in generic graphs not embedded in space, and for noncritical spreading.

Anomalous Parity-Time Symmetry Transition away from an Exceptional Point
Creators: name: Ge, Li
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: Parity-time (PT) symmetric systems have two distinguished phases, e.g., one with real energy eigenvalues and the other with complex conjugate eigenvalues. To enter one phase from the other, it is believed that the system must pass through an exceptional point, which is a non-Hermitian degenerate point with coalesced eigenvalues and eigenvectors. In this letter we reveal an anomalous PT transition that takes place away from an exceptional point in a nonlinear system: as the nonlinearity increases, the original linear system evolves along two distinct PT-symmetric trajectories, each of which can have an exceptional point. However, the two trajectories collide and vanish away from these exceptional points, after which the system is left with a PT-broken phase. We first illustrate this phenomenon using a coupled mode theory and then exemplify it using paraxial wave propagation in a transverse periodic potential.

Effects of Physiology-Based Interaction on Collaborative Performance
Creators: name: Mealla, Sebastián
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: Physiology-based systems have lead to implicit interaction models where signals coming from the human body are used to control devices and applications by means different to muscular movement or speech. However, most of these systems are focused on single-user modes, and its application in collaborative scenarios is still scarce. In this project we present a system for collaborative sound generation and control built from a Hybrid Brain-Computer Interface device (BCI) featuring Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Electrocardiogram (ECG), and the reactable, a music instrument based on a Tangible User Interface (TUI). We assessed collaborative performance and motivational variables in a task-oriented experiment based on the imitation of pre-recorded sound references. Measures were obtained through self-reported questionnaires. Teams of subjects with no previous experience on the reactable used two different methods for sound generation and control: implicit interaction, through physiological signals (EEG & ECG), and implicit interaction by means of physical manipulation. The study has revealed four main effects of physiology-based interaction applied to a collaborative performance in a TUI. (1) Teams working with a combination of implicit and explicit models of interaction declared less difficulty and greater ease to solve the tasks. (2) They also shown higher levels of confidence during the performance. (3) The distribution of control and leadership was balance and didn’t show significant difference between the two proposed interaction paradigms. (4) Teams have shown a significant correlation in key aspects for collaboration, such as confidence and motivation over time. These findings suggest that the physiological signal extraction and processing implemented in this system could be linked to subtler descriptors related to affective states, emotional responses or music perception, allowing more advanced and stable methods for sound generation and control. We also propose to include previous training sessions, and carrying on experiments with musicians to test the expressiveness of the proposed system. This work presents a friendly configuration for a collaborative sound composition experience. It encourages the development of Computer-Supported Collaborative Systems where subtle sources of information such as physiological states effectively support an explicit model of interaction, as in the case of tangible tabletops interfaces, by means of non-invasive, wireless devices that preserve adequate conditions for live performance.

description: In any caching system, the admission and eviction policies determine which contents are added and removed from a cache when a miss occurs. Usually, these policies are devised so as to mitigate staleness and increase the hit probability. Nonetheless, the utility of having a high hit probability can vary across contents. This occurs, for instance, when service level agreements must be met, or if certain contents are more difficult to obtain than others. In this paper, we propose utility-driven caching, where we associate with each content a utility, which is a function of the corresponding content hit probability. We formulate optimization problems where the objectives are to maximize the sum of utilities over all contents. These problems differ according to the stringency of the cache capacity constraint. Our framework enables us to reverse engineer classical replacement policies such as LRU and FIFO, by computing the utility functions that they maximize. We also develop online algorithms that can be used by service providers to implement various caching policies based on arbitrary utility functions.

description: The temporal evolution of a solar prominence inserted in a three-dimensional magnetic flux rope is investigated numerically. Using the model of Titov Demoulin (1999) under the regime of weak twist, the cold and dense prominence counteracts gravity by modifying the initially force-free magnetic configuration. In some cases a quasi-stationary situation is achieved after the relaxation phase, characterized by the excitation of standing vertical oscillations. These oscillations show a strong attenuation with time produced by the mechanism of continuum damping due to the inhomogeneous transition between the prominence and solar corona. The characteristic period of the vertical oscillations does not depend strongly on the twist of the flux rope. Nonlinearity is the responsible for triggering the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability associated to the vertical oscillations and that eventually produces horizontal structures. Contrary to other configurations in which the longitudinal axis of the prominence is permeated by a perpendicular magnetic field, like in unsheared arcades, the orientation of the prominence along the flux rope axis prevents the development of Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities and therefore the appearance of vertical structuring along this axis.

Emotional Speech Synthesis for a Radio DJ: Corpus Design and Expression Modeling
Creators: name: Umbert, Martí
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: This master thesis concerns the design of a corpus for speech synthesis as well as the modeling of different emotions in the context of a Radio DJ speaker. In the context of the radio DJ speaker we designed a corpus that represents what radio DJs use to present songs being played in a radio show. A professional speaker has been recorded uttering a set of these sentences in different levels of arousal and speed. By labeling the phonemes of the recorded phonemes, control parameters have been extracted from these sentences in order to transform or synthesize them in other emotion and speech rate conditions, and thus change the control parameters accordingly or the synthesized keywords such as a band or a song name. More precisely, the aim of this project is to model how different acoustic parameters behave according to a given emotion. The model considers syllable energy, duration and pitch which will be used to transform (or even synthesize) a recorded sentence into another with a different emotion. These results are objectively compared to the training data as well as subjectively evaluated in terms of emotion activation and speech rate.

description: While astronomers often assume that exoplanets are perfect spheres when analyzing observations, the subset of these distant worlds that are subject to strong tidal forces and/or rapid rotations are expected to be distinctly ellipsoidal or even triaxial. Since a planet's response to these forces is determined in part by its interior structure, measurements of an exoplanet's deviations from spherical symmetry can lead to powerful insights into its composition and surrounding environment. These shape deformations will imprint themselves on a planet's phase curve and transit lightcurve and cause small (1s-100s of parts per million) deviations from their spherical-planet counterparts. Until recently, these deviations were undetectable in typical real-world datasets due to limitations in photometric precision. Now, however, current and soon-to-come-online facilities such as JWST will routinely deliver observations that warrant the consideration of more complex models. To this end we present squishyplanet, a JAX-based Python package that implements an extension of the polynomial limb-darkened transit model presented in Agol et al. 2020 to non-spherical (triaxial) planets, as well as routines for modeling reflection and emission phase curves.

description: We measure strong radio-frequency (RF) electric fields using rubidium Rydberg atoms prepared in a room-temperature vapor cell as field sensors. Electromagnetically induced transparency is employed as an optical readout. We RF-modulate the 60$S_{1/2}$ and 58$D_{5/2}$ Rydberg states with 50~MHz and 100~MHz fields, respectively. For weak to moderate RF fields, the Rydberg levels become Stark-shifted, and sidebands appear at even multiples of the driving frequency. In high fields, the adjacent hydrogenic manifold begins to intersect the shifted levels, providing rich spectroscopic structure suitable for precision field measurements. A quantitative description of strong-field level modulation and mixing of $S$ and $D$ states with hydrogenic states is provided by Floquet theory. Additionally, we estimate the shielding of DC electric fields in the interior of the glass vapor cell.

description: The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction (DMI) has recently attracted considerable interest owing to its fundamental role in the stabilization of chiral spin textures in ultrathin ferromagnets, which are interesting candidates for future spintronic technologies. Here we employ a scanning nano-magnetometer based on a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect in diamond to locally probe the strength of the interfacial DMI in CoFeB/MgO ultrathin films grown on different heavy metal underlayers X=Ta,TaN, and W. By measuring the stray field emanating from DWs in micron-long wires of such materials, we observe deviations from the Bloch profile for TaN and W underlayers that are consistent with a positive DMI value favoring right-handed chiral spin structures. Moreover, our measurements suggest that the DMI constant might vary locally within a single sample, illustrating the importance of local probes for the study of magnetic order at the nanoscale.

description: The normal and the lateral Casimir interactions between corrugated ideal metallic plates in the presence of an amplifying or an absorptive dielectric slab has been studied by the path-integral quantization technique. The effect of the amplifying slab, which is located between corrugated conductors, is to increase the normal and lateral Casimir interactions, while the presence of the absorptive slab diminishes the interactions. These effects are more pronounced if the thickness of the slab increases, and also if the slab comes closer to one of the bounding conductors. When both bounding ideal conductors are flat, the normal Casimir force is non-monotonic in the presence of the amplifying slab and the system has a stable mechanical equilibrium state, while the force is attractive and is weakened by intervening the absorptive dielectric slab in the cavity. By replacing one of the flat conductors by a flat ideal permeable plate the force becomes non-monotonic and the system has an unstable mechanical equilibrium state in the presence of either an amplifying or an absorptive slab. When the left side plate is conductor and the right one is permeable, the force is non-monotonic in the presence of a double-layer DA (dissipative-amplifying) dielectric slab with a stable mechanical equilibrium state, while it is purely repulsive in the presence of a double-layer AD (amplifying-dissipative) dielectric slab.

description: We study stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in shock ignition by comparing fluid and PIC simulations. Under typical parameters for the OMEGA experiments [Theobald \emph{et al}., Phys. Plasmas \textbf{19}, 102706 (2012)], a series of 1D fluid simulations with laser intensities ranging between 2$\times$10$^{15}$ and 2$\times$10$^{16}$ W/cm$^2$ finds that SBS is the dominant instability, which increases significantly with the incident intensity. Strong pump depletion caused by SBS and SRS limits the transmitted intensity at the 0.17n$_c$ to be less than 3.5$\times$10$^{15}$ W/cm$^2$. The PIC simulations show similar physics but with higher saturation levels for SBS and SRS convective modes and stronger pump depletion due to higher seed levels for the electromagnetic fields in PIC codes. Plasma flow profiles are found to be important in proper modeling of SBS and limiting its reflectivity in both the fluid and PIC simulations.

description: We develop the theory and practical implementation of p-adic sparse coding of data. Rather than the standard, sparsifying criterion that uses the $L_0$ pseudo-norm, we use the p-adic norm. We require that the hierarchy or tree be node-ranked, as is standard practice in agglomerative and other hierarchical clustering, but not necessarily with decision trees. In order to structure the data, all computational processing operations are direct reading of the data, or are bounded by a constant number of direct readings of the data, implying linear computational time. Through p-adic sparse data coding, efficient storage results, and for bounded p-adic norm stored data, search and retrieval are constant time operations. Examples show the effectiveness of this new approach to content-driven encoding and displaying of data.

description: The low efficiency of commercially-used reverse osmosis (RO) membranes has been the main obstacle in seawater desalination application. Here, we report the auspicious performance, through molecular dynamics simulations, of a seawater desalination filter based on the recently-synthesized graphene-like carbon nitride (g-C2N) [Nat. Commun., 2015, 6, 6486]. Taking advantage of the inherent nanopores and excellent mechanical properties of g-C2N filter, highly efficient seawater desalination can be achieved by modulating the nanopores under tensile strain. The water permeability can be improved by two orders of magnitude compared to RO membranes, which offers a promising approach to the global water shortage solution.

description: Optically thick non-thermal synchrotron sources notably produce linear polarization vectors being parallel to projected magnetic field lines on the observer's screen, although they are perpendicular in well-known optically thin cases. To elucidate the complex relationship between the vectors and fields and to investigate the energy and spatial distribution of non-thermal electrons through the images, we perform polarization radiative transfer calculations at submillimeter wavelengths. Here the calculations are based on semi-analytic force-free jet models with non-thermal electrons with a power-law energy distribution. In calculated images, we find a $90^\circ$-flip of linear polarization (LP) vectors at the base of counter-side (receding) jet near a black hole, which occurs because of large optical depths for synchrotron self-absorption effect. The $90^\circ$-flip of LP vectors is also seen on the photon ring at a high frequency, since the optical depth along the rays is large there due to the light bending effect. In addition, we see the flip of the sign of circular polarization (CP) components on the counter jet and photon ring. Furthermore, we show that these polarization flips are synthesized with large values in the spectral index map, and also give rise to outstanding features in the Faraday Rotation Measure (RM) map. Since the conditions of flipping depend on the magnetic field strength and configuration and the energy distribution of electrons, we can expect that the polarization flips will provide us with an observational evidence for the presence of non-thermal electrons around the black hole, and a clue to the magnetically driving mechanism of plasma jets.

Estimating the Makam of Polyphonic Music Signals: Template-Matching vs. Class-Modeling
Creators: name: Ioannidis, Leonidas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2010

description: This thesis provides an investigation on the problem of scale estimation in the context of non-Western music cultures and more specific the makam scales found in Turkey and Middle-East countries. The automatic description of music from traditions that do not follow the Western notation and theory needs specifically designed tools. We evaluate two approaches that have successfully dealt with same problem in Western music, but approaching the matter without considering Western pitch-classes. To accomplish the task of classifying musical pieces from the „makam world", according to their scale, we used chroma features extracted from polyphonic music signals. The first method based on template-matching techniques compares the extracted features with a set of makam templates, while the second one uses trained classifiers. Both approaches provided good results (F-measure=0.69 and 0.73 respectively) on a collection of 289 pieces from 9 makam families. Evaluation measures were computed to clarify the performance of both models, error analyses showed that certain confusions were musically coherent and that these techniques could complement each other in this particular context.

Expressive Music Performance Modeling

description: Machine learning approaches to modelling emotions in music performances were investigated and presented in this thesis. In particular, we investigated how professional musicians encode emotions, such as happiness, sadness, anger, fear and sweetness, in violin and saxophone audio performances. Suitable melodic description features were extracted from audio recordings. Following that, we applied various machine learning techniques for training expressive performance models. A model was trained for each emotion considered. Finally, new expressive performances were synthesized from inexpressive melody descriptions (i.e. music scores) using the induced models and the result was perceptually evaluated by asking a number of people to listen, compare and evaluate to the computer generated performances. Several machine learning techniques for inducing the expressive models were systematically explored and we present the results.
