Generalized N-gram Measures for Melodic Similarity
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we propose three generalizations of well-known N-gram approaches for measuring similarity of single-line melodies. In a former paper we compared around 50 similarity measures for melodies with empirical data from music psychological experiments. Similarity measures based on edit distances and N-grams always showed the best results for different contexts. This paper aims at a generalization of N-gram measures that can combine N-gram and other similarity measures in a highly general way.

Mirex 2010 Symbolic Melodic Similarity: Local Alignment with Geometric Representations
This short paper describes four submissions to the Symbolic Melodic Similarity task of the MIREX 2010 edition. All four submissions rely on a local-alignment approach between sequences of n-grams, and they differ mainly on the substitution score between two n-grams. This score is based on a geometric representation that shapes musical pieces as curves in the pitch-time plane. One of the systems...
متن کاملThe perception of similarity in court cases of melodic plagiarism and a review of measures of melodic similarity
This study examines the perception of melodic similarity applied to cases of melodic plagiarism under a review of similarity measures. An implicit memory task was designed to test the extent of the participants’ confusability of two similar melodies. The participants were able to distinguish between such melodies involved in cases with and without actual copyright infringement. Many of the appl...
متن کاملUsing the Implication/Realization Model for Measuring Melodic Similarity
The concept of melodic similarity has become increasingly relevant in the light of music retrieval and music content processing systems. We propose a new way of measuring melodic similarity, based on analyses of the melody according to the Implication/Realization (I/R) model [7] for melodic structure and cognition. The similarity is assessed as the edit-distance between these I/R analyses. We p...

This abstract sketches the approach and the employed means for constructing measures of melodic similarity in our software toolbox SIMILE. For different tasks related to melodic similarity different hybrid algorithms proved to be optimal. The hybrid algorithms consist of several single algorithms mostly known in the literature that are taken together in a linear combination. One special linear ...
متن کاملIdentifying Raga Similarity Through Embeddings Learned from Compositions' Notation
Identifying similarities between ragas in Hindustani music impacts tasks like music recommendation, music information retrieval and automatic analysis of large-scale musical content. Quantifying raga similarity becomes extremely challenging as it demands assimilation of both intrinsic (viz., notes, tempo) and extrinsic (viz. raga singingtime, emotions conveyed) properties of ragas. This paper i...
