Fast vs Slow: Learning Tempo Octaves from User Data

چکیده
The widespread use of beatand tempo-tracking methods in music information retrieval tasks has been marginalized due to undesirable sporadic results from these algorithms. While sensorimotor and listening studies have demonstrated the subjectivity and variability inherent to human performance of this task, MIR applications such as recommendation require more reliable output than available from present tempo estimation models. In this paper, we present a initial investigation of tempo assessment based on the simple classification of whether the music is fast or slow. Through three experiments, we provide performance results of our method across two datasets, and demonstrate its usefulness in the pursuit of a reliable global tempo estimation.

Music, emotion, and time perception: the influence of subjective emotional valence and arousal?
The present study used a temporal bisection task with short (<2 s) and long (>2 s) stimulus durations to investigate the effect on time estimation of several musical parameters associated with emotional changes in affective valence and arousal. In order to manipulate the positive and negative valence of music, Experiments 1 and 2 contrasted the effect of musical structure with pieces played nor...
متن کاملFast / Major and Slow / Minor pairings in J . S . Bach ’ s Well
Some studies have found that subjects give higher preference ratings and clearer emotional descriptions to pieces with the tempo/mode pairs fast/major and slow/minor. If these findings are true, one might expect to find a predominance of fast/major and slow/minor pairings in musical literature. This study looks for just such a trend in the canonical work of J.S. Bach’s Well Tempered Clavier. Bo...
متن کاملTempo and its change in spontaneous speech
In this paper, we give a rst account of speech tempo and its change in spontaneous speech in a very large data base (Verbmobil, i.e., human-human appointment dialogs). As features representing speech tempo, we computed mean normalized speech duration (speaking rate) and normalized phone duration in di erent ways. The importance of these features is evaluated with an automatic classi cation of b...

متن کاملMusic Modulates the Strength of Vection
We presented four types of music (two fast tempo and two slow tempo types) during illusory self-motion perception (vection). Vection was induced by expansional dots (optic flow), and participants estimated its strength via magnitude estimation and by pressing a button. Our purpose of this study is to examine whether music alter vection strength. Results showed that vection was facilitated by tw...
