  • Patent number: 9373320
    Abstract: Systems and methods facilitating removal of content from audio files are described. A method includes identifying a sound recording in a first audio file, identifying a reference file having at least a defined level of similarity to the sound recording, and processing the first audio file to remove the sound recording and generate a second audio file. In some embodiments, winner-take-all coding and Hough transforms are employed for determining alignment and rate adjustment of the reference file in the first audio file. After alignment, the reference file is filtered in the frequency domain to increase similarity between the reference file and the sound recording. The frequency domain representation (FR) of the filtered version is subtracted from the FR first audio and the result converted to a time representation of the second audio file. In some embodiments, spectral subtraction is also performed to generate a further improved second audio file.

  • Patent number: 9235853
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for recommending music entities to a user. One method includes defining a set of labels with each label identifying a music concept and constructing at least vector for each of a plurality of entities based on source data. Each vector includes the set of define labels and each label is assigned with a label score. Two vectors respectively associated with two of the plurality of entities are compared. The method further includes generating a recommendation action based on comparison result of the two vectors and transmitting the data for the recommendation action to a device of the user. In one example, the comparisons can be pre-computed and used for the recommendation action.

  • Publication number: 20140234957
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions and methods for programming mammalian cells to perform desired functions. In particular, the present invention provides compositions and methods for programming stem cells to differentiate into a desired cell type. A quorum sensing systems that regulates the expression of cell fate regulators is introduced into mammalian host cells, such as stem cells. The quorum sensing systems generally comprises vectors that express the components of a bacterial quorum sensing pathway, including proteins which catalyze the synthesis of an autoinducer and a gene encoding a regulatory partner of the autoinducer, and vectors in which genes encoding cell fate regulators are operably linked to a promoter induced by the autoinducer/regulatory partner complex.
