Melodic segmentation: evaluating the performance of algorithms and musical experts

We review several segmentation algorithms, qualitatively highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. We also provide a detailed quantitative evaluation of two existing approaches, Temperley\u27s Grouper and Cambouropoulos\u27 Local Boundary Detection Model. In order to facilitate the comparison of an algorithm\u27s performance with human behavior, we compiled a corpus of melodic excerpts in different musical styles and collected individual segmentations from 19 musicians. We then empirically assessed the algorithms\u27 performance by observing how well they can predict both the musicians\u27 segmentations and data taken from the Essen folk song collection

Plasmon dispersion of a weakly degenerate nonideal one-component plasma

Classical Molecular Dynamics simulations (MD) for a one-component weakly degenerate plasma are presented. Using an effective quantum pair potential (Kelbg potential), the dynamic structure factor and the dispersion of Langmuir waves are computed. The influence of the coupling strength $\Gamma$ and degree of degeneracy $\rho \Lambda^3$ on these properties is discussed. The results are compared with predictions of mean-field theories.Comment: 5 pages, 3 eps figures, uses cpp2e style (included), submitted to Contrib. Plasma Phy
