Estimating pitch with SPICE and Tensorflow Hub
- timlod 6y agoInteresting neural pitch estimation algorithm that doesn't require labels (for relative pitch) or few labels (for absolute pitch). Naming made me think this had something to do with circuit simulation - SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) is well-known in some circles.
- dev_tty01 6y agoYes, SPICE (and its descendants) is fundamental to all integrated circuit design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE The code developed at Berkeley was available publicly and most all professional simulators were based at least in part on the SPICE code. It would be interesting to estimate how many students and professionals have performed circuit simulations in the 47 years since the first version shipped. It is ubiquitous. It is safe to say I think that every chip, every computer, essentially every device with any electronics in it had some portion of that design simulated with SPICE or a derivative commercial simulator. The authors could avoid a lot of confusion in many circles if they changed the acronym.

- aooeeu 6y agoCould this be used to determine the temperament of a piece of music (well temperament, meantone, pure intonation etc)? e.g. recently I've been looking into the Persian Santur but have been unable to find a reliable source of tuning information (https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/101000/how-is-the-santur-santour-santoor-usually-tuned-in-pure-intonation https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/101000/how-is-the-...).
