In a video database, large amount of information involving video, audio, and/or images needs to be stored and managed. Therefore, there is an important need for novel techniques a...
A key problem in using the output of an auditory model as the input to a machine-learning system in a machine-hearing application is to find a good feature-extraction layer. For ...
