Hello ecebloggers,
Monday was the first day of the student project presentations. The session chair was Ivan Elhart. Here’s Ivan introducing a presenter:
Four students were presenting: Zeljko Medenica, Dawe Schwarzenberg, Zach Clifton and Dave Estes. All four presentations were very interesting. Zeljko was trying to estimate pitch in a similar way as people hear. Here’s Zeljko during his presentation:
Zeljko ran a demo on a short wave file to show us how it works.
Dave Schwarzenberg’s project was also about pitch estimation. He tried to detect pitch with dynamic time wrapping. Here’s Dave:
Zach Clifton (see picture below) as a former musician tried to show acceptable variance in pitch for a vocalist. We also heard his lovely singing.
Before reading about Dave Estes’s project watch this video:
Dave (see picture below) used prosody to determine human emotions. He found the inspiration in Budweiser’s “Dude” ad. We had a few laugh listening to his wave files.
That’s all about Monday’s presentations. There’s more coming Wednesday 05/07/2008. You can find all the pictures from the presentation here.
Have a good one,
Nemanja
