+\begin{document}
+\maketitle
+
+My proposed research consists of two questions of which the thesis will answer
+at least one.
+
+The first topic is singing voice detection. Singing voice detection has been
+done on numerous amounts of musical styles ranging from unconventional styles
+like Beijing opera to conventional pop music. Moreover, the problem has been
+tackled using myriads of different approaches such as HMMs with different
+acoustic model types but also machine learned feature sets. I would like to
+explore how HMM based techniques perform on extreme heavy metal styles to see
+how well it can detect growling and how classifier might be adapted to perform
+better.
+
+Singing voice detection is often used as a preprocessing step for song lyrics
+forced alignment. If the time permits I would like to explore forced alignment
+using existing phone models on extreme heavy metal styles. Features probably
+need to be changed to improve performance since growling is very different from
+regular singing and speaking.
+
+The data for this will be coming from my personal collection audio CDs.
