Statistical Comparison Measures for Searching in Melody Databases
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the task of melodic similarity search in large melody databases with special interest in the case where the melody looked for is not part of the database. We discuss some basic questions concerning this issue and devise a technical framework for a potential solution. The main part discusses several statistical measures for their quality as melodic comparison measure. Aside from examining some well-known statistical measures, we propose two newly-designed ones which seem to be good candidates for comparing pitch progressions.

A Complexity-based Approach to Melody Track Identification in MIDI Files
In this paper, we will examine the importance of music complexity as a factor for melody recognition in multi-voiced popular music. The assumption is that the melody (or lead instrument) will contain the largest amount of information – that it will be the least redundant voice. Measures of melodic complexity calculated from pitch and timing information are proposed. We test the different comple...
متن کاملA Pattern Recognition Approach for Melody Track Selection in MIDI Files
Standard MIDI files contain data that can be considered as a symbolic representation of music (a digital score), and most of them are structured as a number of tracks. One of them usually contains the melodic line of the piece, while the other tracks contain accompaniment music. The goal of this work is to identify the track that contains the melody using statistical properties of the musical c...

متن کاملComparison of Bibliographic Databases in Retrieving Information on Telemedicine
Background & Aims: Some of the main questions which can be of importance for those researchers who intend to perform a systematic review in a field of science are: ‘What databases should I use for my review?’; ‘Do all these databases have the same value?’; and ‘Which sourcesretrieved the highest of relevant references?’. The main aim of this work was the identification of the best database for ...
