• Conference Proceeding: A study on singing performance evaluation criteria for untrained singers

  Chuan Cao, Ming Li, Jian Liu, Yonghong Yan
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: This paper describes a study of subjective criteria for untrained singerspsila singing voice quality evaluation, focusing on the perceptual aspects that have relatively strong acoustic implications. And the correlation among the individual perceptual criteria is also investigated. A SVM regression method is applied to find the importance of every evaluation criterion. Experiments on a 200 singing clips dataset are conducted to give promising results. And probable acoustic cues are introduced for a future prospect.

  Article: Multiple f0 estimation in polyphonic music (mirex 2007)

  Chuan Cao, Ming Li, Jian Liu, Yonghong Yan
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: This paper describes our method for the MIREX 2007 "Multiple Fundamental Frequency Estimation & Track-ing" task in which the goal is to identify the active F0s in each time frame and to track notes and timbres continu-ously in a complex music signal. The introduced method is based on subharmonic-summation pitch estimation met-hod and a spectrum cancelation algorithm. Our algorithm concentrates on the frame-level transcription, so the sub-mission is only for "Task 1".
• Article: Harmonic Structure Features for Robust Speaker Recognition against Channel Effect

  Chuan Cao, Xiang Xiao, Ming Li, Jian Liu, Yonghong Yan
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: This paper proposes a novel feature set for robust speaker recognition, which is based on the harmonic structure of speech signals. Channel modulation effects are supposed to be weakened in the harmonic structure features, and furthermore the influence introduced by channel variability could be diminished to a certain degree. Though experiment results show that the raw performance of the harmonic structure features is not better than our baseline system due to some inevitable information lost, significant improvement of average 9.85% relative minCost decrease has been made by a score fusion approach with baseline features.
