Not A Second Time Database Our system searches a database of songs based on a melody sung into a microphone. Although previous systems have used training before deployment, our system is capable of improving search results after deployme...

due to the fact that the error surface of adaptive infinite impulse response (iir) systems is generally nonlinear and multimodal, the conventional derivative based techniques fail when used in adaptive identification of such systems. in this case, global optimization techniques are required in order to avoid the local minima. harmony search (hs), a musical inspired metaheuristic, is a recently ...

A melody-based retrieval of music, which is one type of the content-based retrieval, is proposed in the paper. Every fragment of a melody is represented as an appropriate N-dimensional vector, called a feature vector. A feature vector consists of values corresponding to intervals and rhythm of a melody. Depending on the distance between every fragment of a melody in the music database to the en...

Micro-blogging services provide platforms for users to share their feelings and ideas on the move. In this paper, we present a search-based demonstration system, called MemeTube, to summarize the sentiments of microblog messages in an audiovisual manner. MemeTube provides three main functions: (1) recognizing the sentiments of messages (2) generating music melody automatically based on detected...

The paper investigates the adaptability of the MoMel (Modelling of Melody) Algorithm [1] to new corpora. A detailed overview of the MoMel algorithm and its parameters are presented. The generality of the default parameter values to new corpora is studied empirically. Two of the parameters, related to window durations, are discovered to be highly corpus dependant. The paper presents a significan...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceived similarity between a melody and the exact and inexact transpositions of that melody. Exact transpositions, which preserve the interval structure of the original melody, were formed by manipulating the variables key-distance and pitch-distance. Inexact transpositions, having a different interval structure than the original melody, were c...

In this paper, a new hybrid conjugate gradient algorithm is proposed for solving unconstrained optimization problems. This new method can generate sufficient descent directions unrelated to any line search. Moreover, the global convergence of the proposed method is proved under the Wolfe line search. Numerical experiments are also presented to show the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, espe...

Optimal expansion of medium-voltage power networks is a common issue in electrical distribution planning. Minimizing total cost of the objective function with technical constraints and reliability limits, make it a combinatorial problem which should be solved by optimization algorithms. This paper presents a new hybrid simulated annealing and tabu search algorithm for distribution network expan...

Melody generation from lyrics has been a challenging research issue in the field of artificial intelligence and music, which enables to learn discover latent relationship between interesting accompanying melody. Unfortunately, limited availability paired lyrics-melody dataset with alignment information hindered progress. To address this problem, we create large consisting 12,197 MIDI songs each...
