Realtime Machine Listening

Realtime Music Information Retrieval is used as front-end for various applications requiring sonic interaction between software/hardware and the physical worlds. MuTant has focused on realtime machine listening since its inception and holds state-of-the-art algorithms for realtime alignment of audio to symbolic score, realtime tempo detection, realtime multiple-pitch extraction. Recent results have pushed our application to more generalised listening schemes beyond music signals as reported in [11] . The Masters thesis of M. Sibru [32] provides benchmark for possible extensions of this paradigm to general Sound Scenes and is currently being pursued as a PhD project.

In 2015, MuTant acquired a Poppy Robot and has started developping tools for real-time Sound Scene Understanding. We hope to publish preliminary stable results in 2016.
