Book title: Advances in Speech and Music Technology: Computational Aspects and Applications

About the book:

Speech and music are two prominent research areas in the domain of audio signal processing. With recent advancement in speech and music technology, the area has grown manifolds, bringing together the interdisciplinary researchers of computer science, musicology and speech analysis. The language we speak propagates as sound wave through various media and allow communication or entertainment for us, humans. Music we hear or create can be perceived in different aspects as rhythm, melody, harmony, timbre, or mood. The multifaceted nature of speech or music information requires algorithms, systems using sophisticated signal processing, and machine learning techniques to better extract useful information. This book provides both profound technological knowledge and a comprehensive treatment of essential topics in speech and music processing.

Advances in Speech and Music Technology: Computational Aspects and Applications is an edited book (multi-authored book) to be published in Signal and Communication Technology, Springer Book Series (approved). Indexed by SCOPUS.
