A Machine Learning Toolbox For Musician Computer Interaction

This paper presents the SARC EyesWeb Catalog, (SEC),a machine learning toolbox that has been specifically developed for musician-computer interaction. The SEC features a large number of machine learning algorithms that can be used in real-time to recognise static postures, perform regression and classify multivariate temporal gestures. The algorithms within the toolbox have been designed to work with any N -dimensional signal and can be quickly trained with a small number of training examples. We also provide the motivation for the algorithms used for the recognition of musical gestures to achieve a low intra-personal generalisation error, as opposed to the inter-personal generalisation error that is more common in other areas of human-computer interaction.
