I’ve added a pitch extraction machine learning model to Machine Learning for Kids today. In this post, I want to describe the model a little, and suggest a few ways that students could use it.
Background
I started adding pretrained machine learning models to Machine Learning for Kids last year. Although my main focus is still allowing students to create their own machine learning models and make things with them, there are some fun projects that can be made using models that are too complex for students to train by themselves.
imagenet (that I added last Christmas), and the question-answering model (that I added in April) are both good examples of that!
I hope this one will be similarly welcomed!
SPICE
The new model is a pitch estimation model. Given some audio as input, you can use it to recognize the dominant pitch in sung audio (even if there is background music and noise).
This week I ran
