Interval Distinction on Melody Perception for Music Information Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of musical query processing can be envisioned as a substring-matching problem when the melody is represented as a sequence of notes associated with a set of attributes. In comparison of two musical sequences, one of the important problems is to determine the weights of each operation. This paper presents an alternate weighting-scheme which is based on diatonic distinctions on melody perception. To achieve this, we run a cognitive experimentation applying Probe-Tone method. The results showed that perceptional hierarchy of pitches changes according to the interval distinction on melody, whether it has more disjunt interval than conjunct intervals, vice versa. Consequently, if the new weighting-scheme created in this study are used in sequenced-based melody comparison, melodies retrieved to user would have a more credible ranking. The details of experimentations and the results we reach are also presented in detail.

Melody Retrieval On The Web
The emergence of digital music on the Internet requires new information retrieval methods adapted to specific characteristics and needs. While music retrieval based on the text information, such as title, composers, or subject classification, has been implemented in many existing systems, retrieval of a piece of music based on musical content, especially an incomplete, imperfect recall of a fra...
متن کاملThe Effect of Using Pitch and Duration for Symbolic Music Retrieval
Quite reasonable retrieval effectiveness is achieved for retrieving polyphonic (multiple notes at once) music that is symbolically encoded via melody queries, using relatively simple pattern matching techniques based on pitch sequences. Earlier work showed that adding duration information was not particularly helpful for improving retrieval effectiveness. In this paper we demonstrate that defin...

In this paper, we present a JXTA-based system for contents-based music information retrieval. The system finds matching melodies from a set of XML documents that encode music contents. The XML documents are stored in a native XML database and XPath query language is used to extract the information about the structure of music data. The matching algorithm utilizes the geometric hashing technique...
