About

Marsyas (Music Analysis, Retrieval and Synthesis for Audio Signals) is an open source software framework for audio processing with specific emphasis on Music Information Retrieval applications. It has been designed and written by George Tzanetakis (gtzan@cs.uvic.ca) with help from students and researchers from around the world. Marsyas has been used for a variety of projects in both academia and industry.

Featured Project

Teligence

Marsyas was used to design and develop an in-house tool for gender classification (male/female/silence) for voice messages. The system achieves classification of approximately 90% and is running on 10 hubs processing about 25000 recordings (1-2 minutes each) per day. The project was initiated by Paul Snider with consulting by George Tzanetakis.
