Join us for an introductory workshop on Big Data “Intro. to Hadoop and Spark” on Friday, August 11, 2017, from 1:00-4:00 PM at RSMAS, Marine Science Center MSC 123. The workshop explores the differences between Big Data systems and traditional high-performance computing and will get your hands wet by running some Hadoop and spark jobs using sample data. This is an excellent opportunity to grow your projects by making use of IDSC’s Bigfoot cluster, and will develop skills that are indispensable for industry careers. BRING A LAPTOP.

To assess and manipulate the vibrato in musical sounds, audio engineers either informally listen to the audio or visually inspect waveform envelopes or spectrographic representations. Unfortunately, detailed descriptions of the amplitude and frequency trajectories of harmonic partials are difficult to infer from audio spectrograms, which means quantitative information is limited.
