Case Study "Beatles Songs" - What can be Learned from Unreliable Music Alignments?

چکیده
As a result of massive digitization efforts and the world wide web, there is an exploding amount of available digital data describing and representing music at various semantic levels and in diverse formats. For example, in the case of the Beatles songs, there are numerous recordings including an increasing number of cover songs and arrangements as well as MIDI data and other symbolic music representations. The general goal of music synchronization is to align the multiple information sources related to a given piece of music. This becomes a difficult problem when the various representations reveal significant differences in structure and polyphony, while exhibiting various types of artifacts. In this paper, we address the issue of how music synchronization techniques are useful for automatically revealing critical passages with significant difference between the two versions to be aligned. Using the corpus of the Beatles songs as test bed, we analyze the kind of differences occurring in audio and MIDI versions available for the songs.

Probabilistic template-based chord recognition Reconnaissance d’accords probabiliste par l’utilisation de gabarits
This report describes a probabilistic approach to template-based chord recognition in music signals. The algorithm only takes chromagram data and a user-defined dictionary of chord templates as input data. No training or musical information such as key, rhythm or chord transition models is required. The chord occurrences are treated as probabilistic events, whose probabilities are learned from ...
متن کاملExploring Performance-Based Music Attributes for Stylometric Analysis
Music Information Retrieval (MIR) and modern data mining techniques are applied to identify style markers in midi music for stylometric analysis and author attribution. Over 100 attributes are extracted from a library of 2830 songs then mined using supervised learning data mining techniques. Two attributes are identified that provide high informational gain. These attributes are then used as st...
متن کاملIncremental Visualization of Growing Music Collections
Map-based visualizations – sometimes also called projections – are a popular means for exploring music collections. But how useful are they if the collection is not static but grows over time? Ideally, a map that a user is already familiar with should be altered as little as possible and only as much as necessary to reflect the changes of the underlying collection. This paper demonstrates to wh...
متن کاملSimilarity Measurement Method between Two Songs by Using the Conditional Euclidean Distance
Since numerous songs have recently been released increasingly, the genre of the song clustering is reasonably more important in terms of the audience’s choice. Also arguments for plagiarism are continuously being raised. For this reason, similarity measurement between two songs is important. In previous works, although similarity measurement has been actively researched in the field of query by...
متن کاملCharacterisation of Harmony With Inductive Logic Programming
We present an approach for the automatic characterisation of the harmony of song sets making use of relational induction of logical rules. We analyse manually annotated chord data available in RDF and interlinked with web identifiers for chords which themselves give access to the root, bass, component intervals of the chords. We pre-process these data to obtain high-level information such as ch...
