The Melodic Signature Index for Fast Content-based Retrieval of Symbolic Scores Camelia Constantin

چکیده
NEUMA is an on-line library that stores collections of symbolic scores and proposes a public interface to search for melodic pieces based on several kinds of patterns: pitchesbased, with or without rhythms, transposed or not. In addition, searches can be either exact or approximate. We describe an index structure apt at supporting all these searches in a consistent setting. Its distinctive feature is an encoding of the various information that might be involved in the pattern-matching process with algebraic signatures. The properties of these signatures are suitable to represent in a compact and expressive way the sequences of complex features that constitute a melodic description.

A Measure of Melodic Similarity based on a Graph Representation of the Music Structure
Content-based music retrieval requires to define a similarity measure between music documents. In this paper, we propose a novel similarity measure between melodic content, as represented in symbolic notation, that takes into account musicological aspects on the structural function of the melodic elements. The approach is based on the representation of a collection of music scores with a graph ...
متن کاملRobust and efficient content-based music retrieval system
This work proposes a query-by-singing (QBS) content-based music retrieval (CBMR) system that uses Approximate Karbunen– Loeve transform for noise reduction. The proposed QBS-CBMR system uses a music clip as a search key. First, a 51-dimensional matrix containing 39-Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) features and 12-Chroma features are extracted from an input music clip. Next, adapted s...
متن کاملCombining Multilevel and Multifeature Representation to Compute Melodic Similarity
In the proposed approach, melodic similarity is computed as a content-based information retrieval task. To this end, the initial incipit is considered as the query in a query-byexample paradigm and the ranked list of potentially similar documents is given by the list of retrieved documents. The approach to retrieval is based on document indexing, where each document is described by alternative ...
متن کاملArmonique: Experiments in Content-Based Similarity Retrieval using Power-Law Melodic and Timbre Metrics
This paper presents results from an on-going MIR study utilizing hundreds of melodic and timbre features based on power laws for content-based similarity retrieval. These metrics are incorporated into a music search engine prototype, called Armonique. This prototype is used with a corpus of 9153 songs encoded in both MIDI and MP3 to identify pieces similar to and dissimilar from selected songs....
متن کاملMirex Symbolic Melodic Similarity, Query by Singing/humming
This submission to theMusic Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange in the Symbolic Melodic Similarity task uses ideas from the system that used the Earth Mover’s Distance (EMD) in MIREX 2005. The total weight sums are normalized before applying the EMD, which makes it possible to use a vantage index. A novel way of segmenting is used. Response times are shortened from 75 hours for searching ...
