Modeling Musical Structure with Parametric Grammars
نویسندگان
چکیده
Finding high-level structure in scores is one of the main challenges in music information retrieval. Searching for a formalization enabling variety through fixed musical concepts, we use parametric grammars, an extension of context-free grammars with predicates that take parameters. Parameters are here small patterns of music that will be used with different roles in the piece. We investigate their potential use in defining and discovering the structure of a musical piece, taking example on Bach inventions. A measure of conformance of a score with a given parametric grammar based on the classical notion of edit distance is investigated. Initial analysis of computational properties of the proposed formalism is carried out.

Learning Regular Grammars to Model Musical Style: Comparing Different Coding Schemes
An application of Grammatical Inference (GI) in the field of Music Processing is presented, were Regular Grammars are used for modeling musical style. The interest in modeling musical style resides in the use of these models in applications, such as Automatic Composition and Automatic Musical Style Recognition. We have studied three GI Algorithms, which have been previously applied successfully...

متن کاملImproving L-System Music Rendering Using a Hybrid of Stochastic and Context-Sensitive Grammars in a Visual Language Framework
L-Systems have been extensively utilized in plant modeling and music rendering. However, the music generated was not very pleasant as the grammars used are very simple. This paper describes a hybrid method that generates more complex grammars for L-Systems in a visual language framework for music rendering so that the musical sounds generated can be improved and fine-tuned. The method which use...
متن کاملGeneralizing Transduction Grammars to Model Continuous Valued Musical Events
We describe a generalization of stochastic transduction grammars to be able to model continuous values, the first models to natively handle continuous-valued musical events such as microtones while still gaining the advantages of STGs for describing complex structural, hierarchically compositional inter-part relationships. Music transduction modeling based on linguistic or grammatical models ha...
متن کاملHow Blue Can You Get? Learning Structural Relationships for Microtones via Continuous Stochastic Transduction Grammars
We describe a new approach to probabilistic modeling of structural inter-part relationships between continuous-valued musical events such as microtones, through a novel class of continuous stochastic transduction grammars. Linguistic and grammar oriented models for music commonly approximate features like pitch using discrete symbols to represent ‘clean’ notes on scales. In many musical genres,...
