Perceptual Audio Classification Using Principal Component Analysis Zak Burka A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Computer Science Department of Computer Science Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences Rochester Institute of Technology Approved May 6, 2010 Abstract The development of robust algorithms for the recognition and classifi- cation of sensory data is one of the central topics in the area of intelligent systems and computational vision research. In order to build better intelli- gent systems capable of processing environmental data accurately, current research is focusing on algorithms which try to model the types of process- ing that occur naturally in the human brain. In the domain of computer vision, these approaches to classification are being applied to areas such as facial recognition, object detection, motion tracking, and others. This project investigates the extension of these types of perceptual clas- sification techniques to the realm of acoustic data. As part of this effort, an algorithm for audio fingerprinting using principal component analysis for feature extraction and classification was developed and tested.

  • Red' Skelton and Clem Kadiddlehopper
    Red’Skelton and Clem Kadiddlehopper Wes D.Gehring* “Things have sunk lower than a snake’s belly” [a popular comment by Red Skelton’s Clem Kadiddlehopperl. Newspaper journalist John Crosby in 1952: “How [comically] stupid can you get?” Skelton: “I don’t know. I’m still pretty young.”’ From the books of George Ade, Kin Hubbard, and Will Cuppy to the television work of Herb Shriner and David Letterman, Indi- ana’s humor has long entertained the nation. But Red Skelton’s more-than-fifty-year reign as a Hoosier comedy artist of national significance and his ongoing ties to the state-particularly as his character Clem Kadiddlehopper-place him in a peerless position among Indiana comedians.

The cornerstone of the comedian’s career is the unprecedented twenty-year televi- sion run (1951-1971) of his variety show. All artists’ backgrounds provide special insights into their work, but there seems to be a unique fascination with the biogra- phies of humorists. Clowns comically comfort audiences with their physical and spiritual resilience. In addition, society seems espe- cially spellbound with the clown chronicle that reveals tragic roots-the ability to provoke laughter despite personal sadness. Once again Skelton is in a unique category among Indiana humorists, for he survived the harshest of childhoods. His circus clown father died an alcohol-related death before Red was born, and as a youth he endured tattered clothing, taunts about his “Wes D.
