Cognitive Similarity Grounded by Tree Distance from the Analysis of K.265/300e

چکیده
Lerdahl and Jackendoff’s theory employed a tree in a representation of internal structure of music. In order for us to claim that such a tree is a consistent and stable representation, we argue that the difference of trees should correctly reflect our coginitive similarity of music. We report our experimental result concerning the comparison of similarity among variations on Ah vous dirai-je, maman, K. 265/300e by Mozart. First we measure the theoretical distance between two variations by the sum of the lengths of time-spans, and then we compare the result with the human psychological resemblance. We show the statistical analysis, and discuss the adequacy of the distance as a metric of similarity, which moreover becomes a metrics of theory.

Algebraic Mozart by Tree Synthesis
Thus far, we have been automatizing the time-span analysis of Jackendoff and Lehrdahl’s Generative Theory of Tonal Music (GTTM). We have also introduced the distance between two time-span trees and verified by an experiment that the distance was properly supported by the psychological similarity. In this paper, we synthesize a new piece of music using the algebraic operations on timespan trees,...

متن کاملNew distance and similarity measures for hesitant fuzzy soft sets
The hesitant fuzzy soft set (HFSS), as a combination of hesitant fuzzy and soft sets, is regarded as a useful tool for dealing with the uncertainty and ambiguity of real-world problems. In HFSSs, each element is defined in terms of several parameters with arbitrary membership degrees. In addition, distance and similarity measures are considered as the important tools in different areas such as ...
