Continue reading...The bitrate (or bit rate) of a signal is the number of bits required to store, or transmit, 1 s of that signal. A bit is a binary number: either 0 or 1. Let’s calculate the bitrate of a digital waveform. First you should revise the concepts of sampling and quantisation from this module of the […]
Continue reading...Using Praat, we synthesise a simple vowel-like sound, starting with a pulse train, which we pass through a filter with resonant peaks.
Continue reading...Most methods for estimating F0 start from autocorrelation. The idea is pretty simple: we are just looking for a repeating pattern in the waveform, which corresponds to the periodic vocal fold activity. For some waveforms, it might be possible to do that directly in the time domain, but in general that doesn’t work very well. […]
Continue reading...A quick introduction to a very simple but widely-applicable model that can perform classification (predicting a discrete label) or regression (predicting a continuous value). The tree is learned from labelled data, using supervised learning. Before watching this video, you might want to check that you understand what Entropy is.
Continue reading...In sampling and quantisation we saw that sampling a signal at a fixed rate means that there is an upper limit on the frequencies that can be represented. This limit is called the Nyquist frequency. Before sampling a signal, we must remove all energy above the Nyquist frequency, and here we will see what would […]
Continue reading...The equation for entropy is very often presented in textbooks without much explanation, other than to say it has the desired properties. Here, I attempt an informal derivation of the equation starting from uniform probability distributions. A good way to think about information is in terms of sending messages. In the video, we send messages […]
