Evaluating a Chord-Labelling Algorithm
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper outlines a method for evaluating a new chordlabelling algorithm using symbolic data as input. Excerpts from full-score transcriptions of 40 pop songs are used. The accuracy of the algorithm’s output is compared with that of chord labels from published song books, as assessed by experts in pop music theory. We are interested not only in the accuracy of the two sets of labels but also in the question of potential harmonic ambiguity as reflected the judges’ assessments. We focus, in this short paper, on outlining the general approach of this research project.

A Discrete Mixture Model for Chord Labelling
Chord labels for recorded audio are in high demand both as an end product used by musicologists and hobby musicians and as an input feature for music similarity applications. Many past algorithms for chord labelling are based on chromagrams, but distribution of energy in chroma frames is not well understood. Furthermore, non-chord notes complicate chord estimation. We present a new approach whi...
متن کاملEvaluating the General Chord Type Representation in Tonal Music and Organising GCT Chord Labels in Functional Chord Categories
The General Chord Type (GCT) representation is appropriate for encoding tone simultaneities in any harmonic context (such as tonal, modal, jazz, octatonic, atonal). The GCT allows the re-arrangement of the notes of a harmonic sonority such that abstract idiom-specific types of chords may be derived. This encoding is inspired by the standard roman numeral chord type labelling and is, therefore, ...
متن کاملA Modified Character Segmentation Algorithm for Farsi Printed Text Using Upper Contour Labelling
In this paper, a modified segmentation algorithm for printed Farsi words is presented. This algorithm is based on a previous work by Azmi that uses the conditional labeling of the upper contour to find the segmentation points. The main objective is to improve the segmentation results for low quality prints. To achieve this, various modifications on local baseline detection, contour labeling an...
متن کاملStrong edge-magic labelling of a cycle with a chord
Suppose G is a finite graph with vertex-set V (G) and edge-set E(G). An edge-magic total labelling on G is a one-to-one map λ from V (G)∪E(G) onto the integers 1, 2, . . . , |V (G) ∪ E(G)| with the property that, given any edge (x, y), λ(x) + λ(x, y) + λ(y) = k for some constant k. Such a labelling is called strong if the smallest labels appear on the vertices. In this paper, we investigate the...
متن کاملUsing Musical Structure to Enhance Automatic Chord Transcription
Chord extraction from audio is a well-established music computing task, and many valid approaches have been presented in recent years that use different chord templates, smoothing techniques and musical context models. The present work shows that additional exploitation of the repetitive structure of songs can enhance chord extraction, by combining chroma information from multiple occurrences o...
