Abstract: A system and method may be configured to analyze audio information. The system and method may include determining for an audio signal, an estimated pitch of a sound represented in the audio signal, an estimated chirp rate (or fractional chirp rate) of a sound represented in the audio signal, and/or other parameters of sound(s) represented in the audio signal. The one or more parameters may be determined through analysis of transformed audio information derived from the audio signal (e.g., through Fourier Transform, Fast Fourier Transform, Short Time Fourier Transform, Spectral Motion Transform, and/or other transforms). Statistical analysis may be implemented to determine metrics related to the likelihood that a sound represented in the audio signal has a pitch and/or chirp rate (or fractional chirp rate). Such metrics may be implemented to determine an estimated pitch and/or fractional chirp rate.

Abstract: Systems and methods to perform speaker clustering determine which audio segments appear to include sound generated by the same speaker. Speaker clustering is based on creating a graph in which a node represents an audio segment and an edge between two nodes represents a relationship and/or correspondence that reflects a probability, likelihood, or other indication that the two nodes represent audio segments of the same speaker. This graph is analyzed to detect individual communities of nodes that associate to an individual speaker.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for processing sound signals. The processing may include identifying individual harmonic sounds represented in sound signals, determining sound parameters of harmonic sounds, classifying harmonic sounds according to source, and/or other processing. The processing may include transforming the sound signals (or portions thereof) into a space which expresses a transform coefficient as a function of frequency and chirp rate. This may facilitate leveraging of the fact that the individual harmonics of a single harmonic sound may have a common pitch velocity (which is related to the chirp rate) across all of its harmonics in order to distinguish an the harmonic sound from other sounds (harmonic and/or non-harmonic) and/or noise.

Abstract: A system and method may be configured to process an audio signal. The system and method may track pitch, chirp rate, and/or harmonic envelope across the audio signal, may reconstruct sound represented in the audio signal, and/or may segment or classify the audio signal. A transform may be performed on the audio signal to place the audio signal in a frequency chirp domain that enhances the sound parameter tracking, reconstruction, and/or classification.

Abstract: A system and method may be configured to analyze audio information derived from an audio signal. The system and method may track sound pitch across the audio signal. The tracking of pitch across the audio signal may take into account change in pitch by determining at individual time sample windows in the signal duration an estimated pitch and a representation of harmonic envelope at the estimated pitch. The estimated pitch and the representation of harmonic envelope may then be implemented to determine an estimated pitch for another time sample window in the signal duration with an enhanced accuracy and/or precision.

Abstract: A system and method may be configured to reconstruct an audio signal from transformed audio information. The audio signal may be resynthesized based on individual harmonics and corresponding pitches determined from the transformed audio information. Noise may be subtracted from the transformed audio information by interpolating across peak points and across trough points of harmonic pitch paths through the transformed audio information, and subtracting values associated with the trough point interpolations from values associated with the peak point interpolations. Noise between harmonics of the sound may be suppressed in the transformed audio information by centering functions at individual harmonics in the transformed audio information, the functions serving to suppress noise between the harmonics.
