While noticeable progress has been made in the past by combining pattern recognition methods with audio signal processing techniques, many systems are still impeded by the lack of a meaningful amount of labeled data to support the data-driven algorithms. To address this data challenge in ADT, this work presents three approaches. First, a dataset for ADT tasks is created using a semi-automatic process that minimizes the workload of human annotators. Second, an ADT system that requires minimum training data is designed to account for the presence of other instruments (e.g., non-percussive or pitched instruments). Third, the possibility of improving generic ADT systems with a large amount of unlabeled data from online resources is explored. The main contributions of this work include the introduction of a new ADT dataset, the methods for realizing ADT systems under the constraint of data insufficiency, and a scheme for data-driven methods to benefit from the abundant online resources and might have impact on other audio and music related tasks traditionally impeded by small amounts of labeled data.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ECommittee:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Alexander Lerch (Advisor, MT)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Mark Clements (ECE)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Gil Weinberg (MT)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Jason Freeman (MT)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Tim Hsu (MT)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Grant Davidson (Dolby Laboratories)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Addressing the data challenge in automatic drum transcription with labeled and unlabeled data"}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2018-04-24 12:38:52","changed_gmt":"2018-04-24 12:38:52","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-05-08T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-05-08T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-05-08T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-05-08 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-05-08 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-05-08 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"100811","name":"Phd Defense"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
