This paper describes two web services, PodCastle and Songle, that collect voluntary contributions by anonymous users in order to improve the experiences of users listening to speech and music content available on the web. These services use automatic speechrecognition and music-understanding technologies to provide content analysis results, such as full-text speech transcriptions and music scen...

Today, people listen to music on their mobile phone or other playback devices. Jukefox is a special music player running on Google’s smart phone operating system Android. It’s capable of recognizing similarities between multiple songs, albums and artists using data based on a huge music similarity map [1] which classifies songs into a high-dimensional space. Songs with small distance are simila...

This study investigated self-recognition in point-light displays depicting actions performed in synchrony with music. Participants were recorded executing three different actions (dancing, walking, and clapping) and were subsequently required to identify the agent (self versus other) from point-light displays with or without the accompanying music. Results indicate that while recognition accura...

We present an exploratory data mining tool useful for finding patterns in the geographic distribution of independent UK-based music artists. Our system is interactive, highly intuitive, and entirely browser-based, meaning it can be used without any additional software installations from any device. The target audiences are artists, other music professionals, and the general public. Potential us...

IN TONAL MUSIC, PATTERNS OF TENSION AND resolution form one of the core principles evoking emotions. The experience of musical tension and resolution depends on various features of the music (e.g., dynamics, agogics, melody, and harmony); however, the relative contribution of different features to the experience of tension is less clear. To investigate the influence of different features on sub...

This demonstration paper presents a novel content-based music search system that accepts a query containing multiple tags with multiple levels of preference (denoted as an MTML query) to search music from an untagged music database. We select a limited number of most frequently used music tags to form the tag space and design an interface for users to input queries by operating the scroll bars....

Music and exercise can both affect autonomic nervous system activity. However, the effects of the combination of music and exercise on autonomic activity are poorly understood. Additionally, it remains unknown whether music affects post-exercise orthostatic tolerance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of music on autonomic nervous system activity in orthostatic tolerance after e...
