As the Netflix Prize competition has demonstrated, matrix factorization models are superior to classic nearest-neighbor techniques for producing product recommendations, allowing the incorporation of additional information such as implicit feedback, temporal effects, and confidence levels. Modern

. The specific effect of music is to trigger a coordinated action of motor, visuospatial and verbal mechanisms. Thanks to the synergic activation of these mechanisms, music can stimulate, support and driven the mental functions to be rehabilitated.

In the area of digital musical effect implementation, attention has lately been focused on computer workstations designed for digital processing of sound (DAW -- Digital Audio Workstation), which perform all operations with audio signals, such as routing, mixing, editing, effect processing

The emergence of audio and video data types in databases will require new information retrieval methods adapted to the specific characteristics and needs of these data types. An effective and natural way of querying a musical audio database is by humming the tune of a song. In this paper, a system

Abstract: Studies of mental stress have become the more important topics recently. Various studies have been conducted on physiological effects of music, while the effects of music under stress condition is not revealed in detail. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of music

differences regarding the notated dynamic levels of the minor-mode pieces. However, regardless of the musical mode, pieces from the earlier period exhibited higher dynamic levels than pieces from the later periods. This effect is attributable to a decrease in dynamics for major-mode pieces in later musical

For quite some time in the area of commercial utilization of digital audio effects, efforts have emerged to create simulate by software analog effects and effect processors This paper deals with the analysis of musical effects, the design of algorithms for simulating these effects
