This course deals with various analysis and processing problems that
use sampled audio as the primary data representation. We discuss, but
do not emphasize, digital signal processing including filtering and
its relationship to Fourier techniques. We will focus on applications
including score following (online and offline), automatic music
transcription and annotation from audio, musical accompaniment
systems, as well as some useful audio effects. The class is open to
all graduate students, but students should be prepared for some
mathematics, computer science and statistics.
