Nowadays computers play an important role in all areas of music, from composition to
production and live performance. This is obvious for all kinds of popular music, where …

In general, algorithms for real-time music tracking directly use a symbolic representation of
the score, or a synthesised version thereof, as a reference for the on-line alignment process …

Virtual musicians have become a remarkable phenomenon in the contemporary multimedia
arts. However, most of the virtual musicians nowadays have not been endowed with abilities …

Singing voice is specific in music: a vocal performance conveys both music (melody/pitch)
and lyrics (text/phoneme) content. This paper aims at exploiting the advantages of melody …

This paper discusses real-time alignment of audio signals of music performance to the
corresponding score (aka score following) which can handle tempo changes, errors and …

Extracting main melody from polyphonic music is one of the most appealing and challenging
tasks in music information retrieval (MIR). In this paper, a new melody extraction method …

We study indeterminacies in realization of ornaments and how they can be incorporated in a
stochastic performance model applicable for music information processing such as score …

This paper addresses the problem of sheet-image-based on-line audio-to-score alignment
also known as score following. Drawing inspiration from object detection, a conditional …

In this work, we propose an automatic accompaniment playback system called Ryry, which
follows human performance and plays a corresponding accompaniment automatically, in an …
