Very cool! Relevant: Zenph makes "re-performances" of old piano recordings. They take a recording, do music transcription magic to get the exact timings and velocities of each note event, and then feed that into a player piano. So

Hooray, IPython 2.0.0 now has `Audio` in IPython.display. As someone who uses IPython notebooks for audio signal processing, this is huge. There were previous user-contributed ways to get around it, but now it's built in. See http:&#x

Good news: a moment ago, I was just able to install IPython 2.0.0 with `conda update ipython`. I'm excited -- it looks great. Interestingly, if I then do `conda update anaconda`, it unlinks IPython 2.0.0 and re-links 1.1.0 after confir

As an EE, I used Matlab a lot for signal processing (image and audio). I had Matlab for Windows at the time. In 2007, I decided to slowly migrate my primary desktop environment over to Ubuntu, but I could not easily find (i.e., pirate) Matl

How pleasantly surprised I am to find that the work of Amir Ali Ahmadi, a friend and former student at Maryland where I was his EE TA, appeared on Hacker News. We both took the same graduate-level class on optimal control; despite being an

I just bought the Das Keyboard Ultimate, and I like it a lot. The keys are firm and clicky, but not as firm as I remember the IBM Model M being. I'm slowly getting used to the unmarked keys, particularly the number row. The keyboard as a wh

Quadratic growth is f(n) = n^2. Exponential growth is f(n) = e^n, or 2^n, or 10^n, for example.

As you read: 1. Write notes in a separate, clean notebook. 2. Ask questions. Write down the questions. 3. Read fewer books, but read them well. For me, writing and asking questions significantly enhance reading comprehension.

Kinda sorta not really. Compressed sensing and sparse coding show that, under certain sparsity assumptions, you can perfectly reconstruct your original data with fewer bits than previously thought. It is a coding principle. Perceptual hashe

If you're interested in this article, then you may interested in locality sensitive hashing (LSH), a randomized hash that has been used seemingly everywhere. I recently used it to speed up music source separation (papers pending). The idea

I do research in music information retrieval. See the ISMIR 2003 paper below. In short, it searches for landmarks in the spectrogram, hashes those landmarks, then compares those hashes against database hashes for temporal continuity. http:
