Hyperlinking Lyrics: A Method for Creating Hyperlinks Between Phrases in Song Lyrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a novel method for creating a hyperlink from a phrase in the lyrics of a song to the same phrase in the lyrics of another song. This method can be applied to various applications, such as song clustering based on the meaning of the lyrics and a music playback interface that will enable a user to browse and discover songs on the basis of lyrics. Given a song database consisting of songs with their text lyrics and songs without their text lyrics, our method first extracts appropriate keywords (phrases) from the text lyrics without using audio signals. It then finds these keywords in audio signals by estimating the keywords’ start and end times. Although the performance obtained in our experiments has room for improvement, the potential of this new approach is shown.
