Audio Retrieval by Rhythmic Similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a method for characterizing both the rhythm and tempo of music. We also present ways to quantitatively measure the rhythmic similarity between two or more works of music. This allows rhythmically similar works to be retrieved from a large collection. A related application is to sequence music by rhythmic similarity, thus providing an automatic " disc jockey " function for musical libraries. Besides specific analysis and retrieval methods, we present small-scale experiments that demonstrate ranking and retrieving musical audio by rhythmic similarity.

Towards Characterisation of Music via Rhythmic Patterns
A central problem in music information retrieval is finding suitable representations which enable efficient and accurate computation of musical similarity and identity. Low level audio features are ideal for calculating identity, but are of limited use for similarity measures, as many aspects of music can only be captured by considering high level features. We present a new method of characteri...
متن کاملOn the Evaluation of Rhythmic and Melodic Descriptors for Music Similarity
In exploratory studies of large music collections where often no ground truth is available, it is essential to evaluate the suitability of the underlying methods prior to drawing any conclusions. In this study we focus on the evaluation of audio features that can be used for rhythmic and melodic content description and similarity estimation. We select a set of state-of-the-art rhythmic and melo...

متن کاملDevelopment of a Rhythm Similarity Model for Electronic Dance Music
This research investigates rhythmic similarity in Electronic Dance Music (EDM). Rhythm in EDM is built on the concept of a ‘loop’, a repeating pattern often associated with a four-measure percussive pattern. In our model, music tracks are segmented using a structural segmentation algorithm developed in previous research, and features are extracted from the audio. A segment is split into differe...
متن کاملRhythmic similarity through elaboration
Rhythmic similarity techniques for audio tend to evaluate how close to identical two rhythms are. This paper proposes a similarity metric based on rhythmic elaboration that matches rhythms that share the same beats regardless of tempo or identicalness. Elaborations can help an application decide where to transition between songs. Potential applications include automatically generating a non-sto...
