This paper proposes a scheme for content based keyword generation of song lyrics. Syntactic as well semantic similarity is used for sentence level clustering to separate the topic from the background of a song. A method is proposed to search for a center in the semantic graph ofWordNet for generating keywords not contained in original text.

We present Song Prompter, a software system that acts as a performance assistant by showing horizontally scrolling lyrics and chords in a graphical user interface, together with an audio accompaniment consisting of bass and MIDI drums. Both alignment and accompaniment are automatically calculated from the original song recording. A song outline displays the song structure, including names and p...

How useful are topic models based on song lyrics for applications in music information retrieval? Unsupervised topic models on text corpora are often difficult to interpret. Based on a large collection of lyrics, we investigate how well automatically generated topics are related to manual topic annotations. We propose to use the kurtosis metric to align unsupervised topics with a reference mode...

In this paper, we propose a system which automatically generates slideshows for music, by utilizing images retrieved from photo sharing web sites, based on query words extracted from song lyrics. The proposed system consists of two major steps: (1) query extraction from song lyrics, (2) image selection from web image search results. Moreover, in order to improve the display duration of each ima...

ABSTRACTA language is a communication tool used by every human being in everyday life. People their to communicate with each other help deliver the information. Meanwhile, Indonesians lack grammar, especially studying from unreliable sources, such as listening songs. This research trying analyze grammatical error Justin Bieber’s song lyrics and identify most frequent type of errors found lyrics...

This paper proposes an algorithm for aligning singing in polyphonic music audio with textual lyrics. As preprocessing, the system uses a voice separation algorithm based on melody transcription and sinusoidal modeling. The alignment is based on a hidden Markov model speech recognizer where the acoustic model is adapted to singing voice. The textual input is preprocessed to create a language mod...

We present an algorithm that allows for indexing music by topic. The application scenario is an information retrieval system into which any song with known lyrics can be inserted and indexed so as to make a music collection browseable by topic. We use text mining techniques for creating a vector space model of our lyrics collection and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) to identify topic c...

In this study we examined the effect of reducing linguistic information on singing proficiency in occasional singers. Thirty-nine occasional singers were asked to sing from memory and to imitate three familiar melodies with lyrics and on the syllable /la/. Performances were analyzed with an acoustically based method yielding objective measures of pitch and temporal accuracy. Results obtained in...
