Just wanting an opinion from some of you Advanced Programmers out there on the difficulty of these projects for a Beginner and how much knowledge I'll need to accomplish them.
First project: Music Similarity Processor.
Input: Two Songs
Output: Percentile (%) How similar the songs are.
Second Project: Data Miner that can calculate optimum conditions for something or generate data and edit as more info is processed.
Input: Database
Output: Either Optimum Conditions or to Generate more data.
If you're confused feel free to ask any questions.
Nearly impossible unless you have very good understanding of math and signal processing. (I assume that "two songs" are two audio files). Or it might be just writing frontend for library which actually does comparison, but then it hardly does what is required.
Second project is too broad. It can range from trivial to impossible.
