For me, as I am interested in DSP and similar things, it would be also nice to additionally add new or other MIR/feature extraction algorithms. However, I think that it would be better to add such algorithms to libxtract or any other vamp plugin collection, then also other projects would benefit from it.
I completely agree with that. This was my original motivation for writing libxtract as a C library rather than a set of Pd objects.
But on the other hand this wouldn't be a pd-only project, so I don't know if it is suited for the GSoC program ... but in the end they would be also available in pd - through the VAMP plugin host external ;)
Yes, it would be great if some improvements got made to libxtract as a 'side effect' of the Pd GSoC! Something that might be interesting would be a set of MIR-inspired abstractions that use the libxtract/aubio bindings + the Pd machine learning objects ([knn], [ann_mlp], [ann_som]) to do common tasks - e.g. speech recognition, audio segmentation with labelling etc. A kind of Pd MIR toolkit.
