Feature-Driven Classification of Musical Styles

چکیده
In this paper we address the problem of musical style classification, which has a number of applications like indexing in musical databases or automatic composition systems. Starting from MIDI files of real-world improvisations, we extract the melody track and cut it into overlapping segments of equal length. From these fragments, some numerical features are extracted as descriptors of style samples. We show that a standard Bayesian classifier can be conveniently employed to build an effective musical style classifier, once this set of features has been extracted from musical data. Preliminary experimental results show the effectiveness of the developed classifier that represents the first component of a musical audio retrieval system..

Classification of Iranian traditional musical modes (DASTGÄH) with artificial neural network
The concept of Iranian traditional musical modes, namely DASTGÄH, is the basis for the traditional music system. The concept introduces seven DASTGÄHs. It is not an easy process to distinguish these modes and such practice is commonly performed by an experienced person in this field. Apparently, applying artificial intelligence to do such classification requires a combination of the basic infor...
متن کاملMeasuring the Performance of Evolutionary Multi-Objective Feature Selection for Prediction of Musical Genres and Styles
The prediction of high-level music categories, such as genres, styles, or personal preferences, helps to organise music collections. The relevance of single audio features for automatic classification depends on a certain category. Relevant feature subsets for each classification task can be identified by means of feature selection. Continuing our previous studies on multi-objective feature sel...
متن کاملShort-Term Memory and Event Memory Classification Systems for Automatic Polyphonic Music Transcription
Music transcription consists in transforming the musical content of audio data into a symbolic representation. The objective of this study is to investigate a transcription system for polyphonic piano. The input to this system consists in piano music recordings stored in WAV files, while the pitch of all the notes in the corresponding score forms the output. The proposed method focuses on tempo...
متن کاملMemory Based Automatic Music Transcription System for Percussive Pitched Instruments
The target of our work dealt with the problem of extracting musical content or a symbolic representation of musical notes, commonly called musical score, from audio data of polyphonic music of percussive pitched instruments. We focuses on note events and their main characteristics: the onset (note attack instant) and the pitch (note name). Signal processing techniques based on the Constant-Q Tr...
