چکیده

In this paper the capability of using self-organising neural maps (SOM) as music style classifiers from symbolic specifications of musical fragments is studied. From MIDI file sources, the monophonic melody track is extracted and cut into fragments of equal length. From these sequences, melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic numerical descriptors are computed and presented to the SOM. Their performance is analysed in terms of separability in different music classes from the activations of the map, obtaining different degrees of success for classical and jazz music. This scheme has a number of applications like indexing and selecting musical databases or the evaluation of style-specific automatic composition systems.

Analytic Comparison of Audio Feature Sets using Self-Organising Maps

A wealth of different feature sets for analysing music has been proposed and employed in several different Music Information Retrieval applications. In many cases, the feature sets are compared with each other based on benchmarks in supervised machine learning, such as automatic genre classification. While this approach makes features comparable for specific tasks, it doesn’t reveal much detail...

Location Recognition in a Mobile Robot Using Self-organising Feature Maps 1

Self-organising structures are a dominant feature of the experimental mobile robots built in our \Really Useful Robots" project. This paper continues where Nehmzow & Smithers 90] nished. It explains some initial experiments using self-organising feature maps, and how those maps can be used by a mobile robot to recognise locations in its environment. This location recognition capability is achie...
