Review MUSIC RETRIEVAL (Foundations and Trends in Information Retrieval) / Now Publishers Inc:Music Accessing and Retrieval is the first comprehensive survey of the vast new field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR). It describes a number of issues which are peculiar to the language of music - including forms, formats, and dimensions of music - together with the typologies of users and their information needs. To fulfil these needs a number of approaches are discussed, from direct search to information filtering and clustering of music documents. The emphasis is on tools, techniques, and approaches for content-based MIR, rather than on the systems that implement them. The interested reader can, however, find descriptions of more than 35 systems for music retrieval with links to their Web sites. Music Accessing and Retrieval can be used as both a guide for beginners who are embarking on research in this relatively new area, and a useful reference for established researchers in this field.

Review CD-Roms in Japan: A Strategic Entry Report, 1997 (Strategic Planning Series) / Icon Group International, Inc.:The primary audience for this report is managers involved with the highest levels of the strategic planning process, and consultants who help their clients with this task. The user will not only benefit from the hundreds of hours that went into the methodology and its application, but also from its alternative perspective on strategic planning in Japan. This report helps executives evaluate strategic investment and entry alternatives in Japan. In order to evaluate Japan, Icon Group International, Inc. draws on a methodology developed by Professor Philip Parker at INSEAD in Fontainebleau, France. The methodology decomposes a country's strategic potential along two key dimensions: (1) latent demand, and (2) accessibility. A country may have very high latent demand, yet have low accessibility, making it a less attractive market than many smaller potential countries having higher levels of accessibility. This report provides a strategic profile of Japan along these lines. Throughout the discussion, literally hundreds of statistics on Japan are benchmarked against regional and global averages. The reader can thus quickly understand where Japan fits into the regional and global perspective. [+]The report first investigates the economic fundamentals affecting Japan. These fundamentals are the source for Japan's latent demand. Then, the subsequent chapters detail Japan's accessibility. This evaluation covers a number of entry alternatives, including export strategies, and local direct investment strategies. If a firm decides to have a local presence in Japan, this requires a strategic understanding of local business conditions. The conditions investigated in this report include local marketing (advertising, distribution, pricing issues) and entry strategies (opening an office, joint venturing, etc. ), as well as human resources management (labor laws, costs, regulations). Because local presence can increase.

Review Speech Processing and Synthesis Toolboxes / Wiley:Strike a balance between theory and practice! With this text, you'll, find a balance between theory and practice that allows you to build your understanding of the basic concepts, assumptions, and limitations of the theory of speech analysis and synthesis. The methods for data analysis as well as the theoretical background are provided to help you comprehend the analysis results. And you'll be able to study the features and properties of speech as a signal without having to record data and write software to analyze the data. The text includes two CDs that contain stand-alone and MATLAB software and speech and electroglottographic data. The CDs illustrate the effects that speech models and speech analysis procedures have on the quality of synthesized speech. An extensive speech database provides numerous speech files and other data. Examples included in each chapter demonstrate how to use the software. The CDs allow you to: * Calculate the parameters of linear prediction speech models. * Examine procedures for converting the speech of one speaker to sound like that of another speaker (i. e. [+], voice conversion). * Analyze and alter the temporal structure of the speech signal. This allows you to automatically parse speech into various features, such as voiced segments, unvoiced segments, nasal and non-nasal segments, fricatives, stops, and more. * Create speech with a "high speaking rate" or generate speech with a "slow speaking rate. " * Adjust the parameters of the vocal fold model to change the vocal fold tension, length, thickness, mass, etc. , in order to observe the effects of these parameters on the vibratory motion of the vocal folds.
