A Probabilistic Topic Model for Music Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a probabilistic model for learning musical key-profiles from symbolic and audio files of polyphonic, classical music. Our model is based on Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a statistical approach for discovering hidden topics in large corpora of text. In our adaptation of LDA, music files play the role of text documents, groups of musical notes play the role of words, and musical keyprofiles play the role of topics. We show how these learnt key-profiles can be used to determine the key of a musical piece and track its harmonic modulations.

A probabilistic topic model assumes that documents are generated through a process involving topics and then tries to reverse this process, given the documents and extract topics. A topic is usually assumed to be a distribution over words. LDA is one of the first and most popular topic models introduced so far. In the document generation process assumed by LDA, each document is a distribution o...
متن کاملProbabilistic models for melodic sequences
Structure is one of the fundamentals of music, yet the complexity arising from the vast number of possible variations of musical elements such as rhythm, melody, harmony, key, texture and form, along with their combinations, makes music modelling a particularly challenging task for machine learning. The research presented in this thesis focuses on the problem of learning a generative model for ...
متن کاملTaste or Addiction?: Using Play Logs to Infer Song Selection Motivation
Online music services are increasing in popularity. They enable us to analyze people’s music listening behavior based on play logs. Although it is known that people listen to music based on topic (e.g., rock or jazz), we assume that when a user is addicted to an artist, s/he chooses the artist’s songs regardless of topic. Based on this assumption, in this paper, we propose a probabilistic model...
