Keyboard Typing via Surface Electromyography (KT-sEMG)
No full textThe KT-sEMG (Keyboard Typing via Surface Electromyography) Dataset is copyright 2021 Nokia. Licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license. SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-4.0
This dataset contains surface EMG recordings taken during a keyboard typing task. Surface EMG data was recorded at 2000 Hz via custom-built forearm sleeves, using 16 electrode channels per arm at 2000 Hz. Computer keystrokes were recorded on the same computer, for synchronization of timestamps.
For each recording session, there is:
A csv file containing 2000 Hz recordings of the 32 sEMG channels
A text file containing all recorded keystrokes, with millisecond-precision timestamps
A text file containing the beginning time of the sEMG recording
The typist was instructed to take dictation from podcast episodes (the podcast "Jordan, Jesse, Go!" was chosen for its natural conversation between native English speakers without a particular focus or topic).

Crouch discusses what people should recognize about Charlie Parker, what made him unique, Parker's coming from the "blues belt of the Southwest" and Kansas City players' reputation for command of the blues, what made Kansas City a great place for jazz, Parker's intellectual grasp of music and muscle memory, how early Parker was addicted to drugs, the fallacy of rebellion as a musical motivator, Parker's phrasing taking bebop to the next level, New York "bebop laboratories" where musicians could jam, the downsizing of groups in the late 1940s, dance halls contrasted with night clubs, the "rhythmic revolution" of Kansas City, the Basie rhythm section at the Reno club, how a language is developed and gaps in how bebop is assessed, contrafact tunes, Parker's best blues in Crouch's opinion ("Cheryl"), Parker at Town Hall and the Dial sessions when he was near collapse, the Parker band with Miles Davis, Duke Jordan, Tommy Potter, and Max Roach, Parker as a bandleader and his ballad playing, Parker's two-horn bands and reasons for hiring Miles Davis as opposed to Fats Navarro, comparison of Wynton Marsalis to Dizzy Gillespie, an anecdote about Fats Navarro and Bud Powell, Parker's reception at the 1949 jazz festival in France, Parker's inconsistency due to addiction and health issues, Dizzy Gillespie's "Jivin' in Bebop" film, Parker's self-inflicted problems, Crouch's criticism of Elton John, Bob Dylan and Michael Jackson, the career disadvantages of instrumentalists in contrast with singers and bandleaders; Charlie Parker with strings and his attempts to replace drugs with alcohol at that time, the problem of people giving Parker drugs, whether Parker's playing was evolving, his solo on "A Night in Tunisia" at Massey Hall, perceptions of Parker's decline around 1954, his enduring impact and what it might have been like if Parker lived longer, potential parallels to Charles Mingus, Andrew Homzy and "plastic form," Parker as discussed in Thomas Owen's book Bebop (Oxford University Press)

Improved Streaming Algorithms for Weighted Matching, via Unweighted Matching
No full textWe present a (4 + epsilon) approximation algorithm for weighted graph matching which applies in the semistreaming, sliding window, and MapReduce models; this single algorithm improves the previous best algorithm in each model. The algorithm operates by reducing the maximum-weight matching problem to a polylog number of copies of the maximum-cardinality matching problem. The algorithm also extends to provide approximation guarantees for the more general problem of finding weighted independent sets in p-systems (which include intersections of p matroids and p-bounded hypergraph matching)
