Essentially, a bit like how Google\u2019s reverse image search works, but with audio.<\/p>\n<p>The initial release focuses strictly on the core functionality of the software. That is, to offer similarity search that work with large collections of samples. Technically, our approach is a combination of feature extraction, machine learning and modern web technologies.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Not entirely dissimilar:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/fontmap.ideo.com\/\">Font Map<\/a> helps you see relationships across more than 750 web fonts.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NewImage.png\" src=\"http:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/NewImage-25.png\" alt=\"NewImage\" width=\"598\" height=\"344\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/VfKin1n_YaA\">YouTube<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This audio browser app has a clever idea, though I wonder if it&#8217;d benefit from the kind of rendering that a Google project uses to let researchers visualize thousands of bird sounds via AI: The primary innovation in Sononym is something called \u201csimilarity search\u201d, which enable users to find similar-sounding samples in their sample collection [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,9],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7350"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7350"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7350\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7380,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7350\/revisions\/7380"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnack.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
