Research

I am employed as Ph.D. student within the Intelligent Sound project (funded by the Danish Technical Research Council (STVF), STVF no. 26-04-0092). The purpose of the Intelligent Sound project is to combine signal processing and machine learning with database technology to make it possible to do intelligent search for sound.

My part of this is to find suitable, mathematical representations of sound streams. The representations (features) must convey relevant information about the sound, must be computationally tractable, and must be of a suitable size for both searching and storing.

Currently, I focus on features to represent music. Much of my time is spent cosidering how to actually evaluate the performance of potential features, since this is not always trivial. I have placed Matlab software that incorporates some of my attempts to evaluate properties of new features on my page with miscellaneous stuff.
