Melodic Resolution in Music Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
This poster considers the use of different levels of melodic resolution in acoustically driven music retrieval systems from the viewpoint of search-key lengths. A query-by-humming application was constructed to evaluate the dependencies between the melodic resolution, database size and the search-key length in order to consider the optimal level of melodic resolution in music retrieval applications.

Improving Melodic Similarity in Indian Art Music Using Culture-Specific Melodic Characteristics
Detecting the occurrences of rāgs’ characteristic melodic phrases from polyphonic audio recordings is a fundamental task for the analysis and retrieval of Indian art music. We propose an abstraction process and a complexity weighting scheme which improve melodic similarity by exploiting specific melodic characteristics in this music. In addition, we propose a tetrachord normalization to handle ...
متن کاملThe Influence of Pitch on Melodic Segmentation
Melodic segmentation is an important topic for music information retrieval, because it divides melodies into musically relevant units. Most influential theories on melodic segmentation of the last decades have stressed the role of pitch for melodic segmentation. The general assumption was, that relatively large changes or distances in any musical parameter like pitch, time, dynamics, or melodic...
متن کاملDetecting Melodic Motifs from Audio for Hindustani Classical Music
Melodic motifs form essential building blocks in Indian Classical music. The motifs, or key phrases, provide strong cues to the identity of the underlying raga in both Hindustani and Carnatic styles of Indian music. Thus the automatic detection of such recurring basic melodic shapes from audio is of relevance in music information retrieval. The extraction of melodic attributes from polyphonic a...
متن کاملAn Analysis of the Mongeau-Sankoff Algorithm for Music Information Retrieval
An essential problem in music information retrieval is to determine the similarity between two given melodies; there are several melodic similarity measures that have been proposed, among others, the Mongeau-Sankoff measure. In this work we implemented a modified version of the Mongeau-Sankoff measure. We conducted an experimental study to compare the implemented measure with other similarity m...
متن کاملEffectiveness of Note Duration Information for Music Retrieval
Content-based music information retrieval uses features extracted from music to answer queries. For melodic queries, the two main features are the pitch and duration of notes. The note pitch feature has been well researched whereas duration has not been fully explored. In this paper, we discuss how the note duration feature can be used to alter music retrieval effectiveness. Notes are represent...
