Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of intelligent teaching systems, in particular to an AI acoustic analysis-based intelligent error correction system for pipa playing. BACKGROUND
[0002] As one of the most representative traditional plucked string instruments in China, the pipa is known for its rich expressiveness and complex playing techniques. The process of learning the pipa is extremely long and difficult, and learners need to go through long-term and repeated practice to master accurate pitch, rhythm, and dozens of unique playing techniques such as wheel fingers, shaking fingers, and sweeping, etc. In this process, it is crucial to discover and correct errors in practice in a timely and accurate manner.
[0003] In traditional pipa teaching, learners' playing errors need to rely on professional teachers to make judgments through auditory recognition and visual observation. However, professional teacher resources are scarce and teaching time is limited, and learners often lack real-time error correction guidance during after-school independent practice. A large number of error playing habits are easily solidified, and more time cost is needed for subsequent correction. For example, when beginners practice pressing the strings, if the finger pressing position deviates from the reasonable range of the peg, and lacks real-time feedback, the learner may continue to repeat the error action, making it difficult to correct the muscle memory. Therefore, we propose an AI acoustic analysis-based intelligent error correction system for pipa playing to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides an AI acoustic analysis-based intelligent error correction system for pipa playing, which solves the problem that traditional pipa teaching is highly dependent on teachers' subjective experience, and there is a shortage of teachers, limited class hours, and a lack of immediate feedback during after-school practice. Learners are difficult to discover errors such as pitch deviation, unstable rhythm, and improper technique application on their own during unguided practice, leading to repeated reinforcement of error playing habits and the formation of stubborn muscle memory. When the errors are corrected at the next class, not only is the efficiency low, but even more time cost is required to correct them.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present application realizes the following technical scheme: an AI acoustic analysis-based intelligent error correction system for pipa playing, comprising:
[0006] An audio acquisition module for real-time acquisition and preprocessing of pipa audio signals of a player;
[0007] A feature extraction module connected with the audio acquisition module for extracting time-domain and frequency-domain acoustic features related to playing errors from the preprocessed audio signals;
[0008] The AI analysis module is connected to the feature extraction module and has a pre-trained pipa playing error recognition model built into it. The AI analysis module is used to receive the acoustic features and analyze them based on the pipa playing error recognition model, and output analysis results including error type, error occurrence time and error severity.
[0009] The feedback module, connected to the AI analysis module, is used to generate and output real-time, visual, or audible error correction guidance information to the user terminal based on the analysis results.
[0010] Preferably, the acoustic features include: pitch sequence, intensity envelope, note start point, note duration, spectral centroid, and Mel frequency cepstral coefficients.
[0011] Preferably, the pipa playing error identification model in the AI analysis module is a neural network model based on deep learning, and its training data contains a large number of pipa audio samples labeled with correct and various types of incorrect playing; the error types include at least one of pitch error, rhythm error, and technique error.
[0012] Preferably, the technique errors include errors in the evenness of the tremolo, errors in the frequency and stability of the tremolo, errors in the clarity and balance of the sweeping strokes, errors in pitch caused by deviations in the position of the pressed notes, and errors in the inconsistent timbre of the plucking strokes.
[0013] Preferably, the error correction guidance information output by the feedback module includes: highlighting the error location in the form of a waveform or spectrum on the user terminal interface, describing the error type in text, providing standard performance example audio, and providing targeted practice suggestions.
[0014] Preferably, it also includes;
[0015] The music score input module is used to receive or select the target music score to practice;
[0016] The music score and audio alignment module is connected to the music score input module and the AI analysis module. It is used to perform real-time alignment and matching of the audio signal acquired by the audio acquisition module with the standard note sequence of the target music score, and to provide analysis context for the AI analysis module.
[0017] Preferably, the AI analysis module compares the extracted acoustic features with the standard expected features of the corresponding notes in the target score based on the alignment information provided by the score and audio alignment module, thereby identifying deviations and judging them as errors.
[0018] Preferably, the system is also integrated into a mobile terminal application, and the audio acquisition module is a built-in or external microphone of the mobile terminal.
[0019] The present invention provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the program, it realizes the function of an intelligent error correction system for pipa playing based on AI acoustic analysis.
[0020] The present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the function of an intelligent error correction system for pipa playing based on AI acoustic analysis.

[0023] This AI-based intelligent error correction system for pipa performance effectively solves the core problems of scarce teacher resources and lack of real-time guidance for after-class practice in traditional pipa teaching.
