AI-based Fourier Analysis using sinusoidal neural networks

Project description

AI-Based Fourier Analysis (aifourier)

aifourier_logo

“Machines can learn Fourier analysis.”

A Python library that approximates Fourier decomposition using a sinusoidal neural network.

Instead of explicitly computing Fourier integrals, this library learns the frequency components of a signal through optimization.


✨ Features

  • 🔊 Analyze audio signals (.wav, .mp3, .flac, .ogg)

  • 🧠 Neural network with sinusoidal activation

  • 📊 Extract:

    • Frequencies in Hz
    • Phase shift
    • Amplitude
  • ⚡ Simple one-line API

  • 📁 Output as Pandas DataFrame


📦 Installation

pip install aifourier

🚀 Usage

import aifourier as aif

df = aif.analyze("audio.mp3")

print(df.head())

📊 Output

The result is a DataFrame containing:

Column Description
Frequencies Learned frequencies (Hz)
Phase shift Phase of each component
Amplitudes Contribution strength of each mode

🧠 How It Works

The signal is approximated as:

y(t) ≈ Σ Aᵢ sin(ωᵢ t + φᵢ)

Where:

  • Aᵢ = amplitude
  • ωᵢ = angular frequency
  • φᵢ = phase

These parameters are learned by a neural network instead of computed analytically.


⚙️ Parameters

aif.analyze(audio_path, max_modes=10000, epochs=256,use_phase_shift=True,learning_rate=0.00001,save_model=None)
  • audio_path : Path to audio file
  • max_modes : Number of sinusoidal components
  • epochs : Training iterations (higher = better approximation)
  • use_phase_shift : If this is set to False, all phase shifts are set to zero.
  • learning_rate : Learning rate of NN
  • save_model : Path to save learned model

📁 Example

See the examples/ folder for a complete demo:

cd examples
python example.py

This will:

  • Analyze bird.mp3
  • Generate frequency components
  • Save results
  • Plot the spectrum

The frequency spectrum of bird.mp3 is shown below:

⚖️ Comparison with FFT

Method Approach
FFT Analytical, deterministic
aifourier Learning-based, approximate

This project explores whether neural networks can discover Fourier structure from data.


🚧 Limitations

  • Approximation quality depends on training
  • Slower than FFT
  • Results may vary between runs

💡 Future Ideas

  • Signal reconstruction from learned parameters
  • FFT comparison mode
  • Real-time signal analysis (oscilloscope / radio)
  • Complex-valued extensions
