Practicum at Music Technology Group


On summer 2007, Jaime Arroyo worked in his Practicum at the Music Technology Group (MTG) of the University Pompeu Fabra. The research, in the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR), consisted in the comparison of two algorithms of automatic classification of musical genre. Both were implemented in MATLAB and the results were examinated. Statistical processing tecniques such as Gaussian Mixture Models or Hidden Markov Models were used and studied. The whole work was conducted by Enric Guaus, researcher at the MTG and teacher of the Sonology department at the ESMUC.
