Novel Mid-Level Audio Features for Music Similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
Large-scale systems for automatic content-based music recommendation require efficient computation of signal descriptors that are robust and relevant with regard to human perception in order to process extensive music archives. In this publication, a set of mid-level audio features suitable for efficient characterization of musical signals with regard to automatic music similarity estimation is proposed. These descriptors are dedicated to model timbre modulation, song dynamics, rhythmic qualities and melodic properties of a music piece in a semantic context. An outline of implementation details and peculiarities will be given. Based on a well defined benchmark criterion for music similarity assessment the strengths and weaknesses of the introduced features will be depicted and discussed accordingly.

Thinkit’s Submissions for Mirex2009 Audio Music Classification and Similarity Tasks
This full abstract describes our submitted systems for the MIREX09 audio classification tasks (genre, mood, classical composer, audio tagging) and music similarity and retrieval task. All the classification systems are based on basic acoustic features (e.g. MFCC) and the modeling framework of GSV-SVM, which has been successfully applied in speaker recognition field. And the similarity systems a...
متن کاملA Mid-level Melody-based Representation for Calculating Audio Similarity
We propose a mid-level melody-based representation that incorporates melodic, rhythmic and structural aspects of a music signal and is useful for calculating audio similarity measures. Most current approaches to music similarity use either low-level signal features, such as MFCCs that mostly capture timbral characteristics of music and contain little semantic information, or require symbolic re...

متن کاملLearning the Similarity of Audio Music in Bag-of-frames Representation from Tagged Music Data
Due to the cold-start problem, measuring the similarity between two pieces of audio music based on their low-level acoustic features is critical to many Music Information Retrieval (MIR) systems. In this paper, we apply the bag-offrames (BOF) approach to represent low-level acoustic features of a song and exploit music tags to help improve the performance of the audio-based music similarity com...
متن کاملA Robust Mid-Level Representation for Harmonic Content in Music Signals
When considering the problem of audio-to-audio matching, determining musical similarity using low-level features such as Fourier transforms and MFCCs is an extremely difficult task, as there is little semantic information available. Full semantic transcription of audio is an unreliable and imperfect task in the best case, an unsolved problem in the worst. To this end we propose a robust mid-lev...
