Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to fingerprint an audio signal via exponential normalization. An example apparatus includes an audio segmenter to divide an audio signal into a plurality of audio segments including a first audio segment and a second audio segment, the first audio segment including a first time-frequency bin, the second audio segment including a second time-frequency bin, a mean calculator to determine a first exponential mean value associated with the first time frequency bin based on a first magnitude of the audio signal associated with the first time frequency bin and a second exponential mean value associated with the second time frequency bin based on a second magnitude of the audio signal associated with the second time frequency bin and the first exponential mean value. The example apparatus further includes a bin normalizer to normalize the first time-frequency bin based on the second exponential mean value and a fingerprint generator to generate a fingerprint of the audio signal based on the normalized first time-frequency bins.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for dynamic volume adjustment via audio classification. Example apparatus include at least one memory; instructions; and at least one processor to execute the instructions to: analyze, with a neural network, a parameter of an audio signal associated with a first volume level to determine a classification group associated with the audio signal; determine an input volume of the audio signal; determine a classification gain value based on the classification group; determine an intermediate gain value as an intermediate between the input volume and the classification gain value by applying a first weight to the input volume and a second weight to the classification gain value; apply the intermediate gain value to the audio signal, the intermediate gain value to modify the first volume level to a second volume level; and apply a compression value to the audio signal, the compression value to modify the second volume level to a third volume level that satisfies a target volume threshold.

Abstract: A method implemented by a computing system comprises generating, by the computing system, a fingerprint comprising a plurality of bin samples associated with audio content. Each bin sample is specified within a frame of the fingerprint and is associated with one of a plurality of non-overlapping frequency ranges and a value indicative of a magnitude of energy associated with a corresponding frequency range. The computing system removes, from the fingerprint, a plurality of bin samples associated with a frequency sweep in the audio content.

Abstract: Example systems and methods for automated cover song identification are disclosed. An example apparatus includes at least one memory, machine-readable instructions, and one or more processors to execute the machine-readable instructions to at least execute a constant Q transform on time slices of first audio data to output constant Q transformed time slices, binarize the constant Q transformed time slices to output binarized and constant Q transformed time slices, execute a two-dimensional Fourier transform on time windows within the binarized and constant Q transformed time slices to output two-dimensional Fourier transforms of the time windows, generate a reference data structure based on a sequential order of the two-dimensional Fourier transforms, store the reference data structure in a database, and identify a query data structure associated with query audio data as a cover rendition of the audio data based on a comparison of the query and reference data structures.
