Tree-Structured Representation of Musical Information
نویسندگان
چکیده
The success of the Internet has filled the net with lots of symbolic representations of music works. Two kinds of problems arise to the user: content-based search of music and the identification of similar works. Both belong to the pattern recognition domain. In contrast to most of the existing approaches, we pose a non-linear representation of a melody, based on trees that express the metric and rhythm of music in a natural way. This representation provide a number of advantages: more musical significance, more compact representation and others. Here we have worked on the comparison of melodies for identification.

Structured Representation of Harmony for Music Retrieval
Harmony is one of the main property of the Western music. Structured systems based on this property are generally dedicated to music analysis. For music retrieval purposes, we propose to consider the harmony of a musical piece as an ordered tree. Five levels are considered, from notes to the main tonality. Each level is relevant for music comparison purpose. This tree structured representation ...

متن کاملGUIDO/MIR - an Experimental Musical Information Retrieval System based on GUIDO Music Notation
Musical databases are growing in number, size, and complexity, and they are becoming increasingly relevant for a broad range of academic as well as commercial applications. The features and performance of musical database systems critically depend on two factors: The nature and representation of the information stored in the database, and the search and retrieval mechanisms available to the use...
متن کاملStochastic Modeling of a Musical Performance with Expressive Representations from the Musical Score
This paper presents a method for describing the characteristics of human musical performance. We consider the problem of building models that express the ways in which deviations from a strict interpretations of the score occurs in the performance, and that cluster these deviations automatically. The clustering process is performed using expressive representations unambiguously notated on the m...
متن کاملPlans as Structured Networks of Hierarchically and Temporally Related Case Pieces
This paper describes a representation of plan cases as a structured set of goals and actions. These goals and actions are the unit pieces that form a case. These case pieces are related each other by hierarchical and temporal links (explanations) forming a tree-like network. We give importance not just to explicit links, i.e., links between case pieces which are concretely known, but also to im...
