BGU objectives

• Our work in Semantic-HIFI will be based on
  scientific results from CUIDADO project as well
  as new research. It is based on two core
  technologies
•  
• Score alignment algorithm, which is a result of
  a research on dynamic models for sound
  description
• Virtual Audio Mixer a tool, which uses score
  alignment as well as filtering algorithms. Allows
  re-mixing of a musical recording given both the
  audio recording and its score information.
