Segmenting actions by aligning video frames to learned prototypes

Video temporal action localization is the task of identifying and localizing specific actions or activities within a video stream. Instead of only classifying which actions occur in the video stream, we aim to detect when an action begins and ends. In this work, we focus on solving this task without any supervision. Existing unsupervised methods...

Finding Similarities between Measures in Scanned Music Scores

The field of Optical Music Recognition has been making progress in the past decades to automate the process of transcribing music scores into computer-readable formats, but its results are still far from being generally applicable. Some research effort has focused on incorporating crowdsourcing techniques into this field to check and correct...

Extracting information from collections of musical performances using Dynamic Time Warping

When performing a piece of music, there are certain ways in which performers turn the score into their own musical interpretation of it. The difference between what is written and what is played can be substantial, and can vary between performers and even individual performances. In this thesis we examine what information can be gained from...
