Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Most of the information that humans perceive through the sensory organs depends on information obtained from audio-visual stimuli.

For this reason, current artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms mainly target visual and auditory data.

In addition, continual learning for sequential audio-visual stimuli, as well as supervised learning that requires the pre-construction of learning data, is under investigation as a method of overcoming the limitations of existing artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms.

This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive appraisal of image data processing, audio data processing, video data analysis, and audio-visual data analysis based on data processing for audio-visual stimuli. Further, as a learning method, unsupervised learning and supervised learning are both targeted.

Topics or keywords:

  • Image data processing;
  • Audio data processing;
  • Video data analysis;
  • Audio-visual data analysis;
  • Deep learning;
  • Unsupervised learning;
  • Continual learning;
  • Memory networks;
  • Machine learning;
  • Artificial intelligence.

Sadhukarn, a sacred music composition performed ritually to salute and invite divine powers to open a ceremony or feast, is played in Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. Different countries have unique versions, arranged based on musicians’ skills and en vogue styles. This study presents the results of multivariate statistical analyses of 26 different versions of Sadhukarn main melodies using non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and cluster analysis. The objective was to identify the optimal number of parameters for identifying the origin and relationships among Sadhukarn versions, including rhyme structures, pillar tone, rhythmic and melodic patterns, intervals, pitches, and combinations of these parameters. The data were analyzed using both full and normalized datasets (32 phrases) to avoid biases due to differences in phrases among versions. Overall, the combination of six parameters is the best approach for data analysis in both full and normalized datasets. The analysis of the ‘full version’ shows the separation of Sadhukarn versions from different countries of origin, while the analysis of the ‘normalized version’ reveals the rhyme structure, rhythmic structure, and pitch as crucial parameters for identifying Sadhukarn versions. We conclude that multivariate statistics are powerful tools for identifying relationships among different versions of Sadhukarn compositions from Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia and within the same countries of origin.
