This paper proposes a novel approach to extract the pitches of singing voices from monaural polyphonic songs. The hidden Markov model (HMM) is adopted to model the transition between adjacent singing pitches in time, and the relationships between melody and its chord, which is implicitly represented by features extracted from the spectrum. Moreover, another set of features which represents the ...

Online piracy of copyrighted digital music has become rampant as internet bandwidth and digital compression technologies have advanced. The music industry has suffered significant financial losses and has responded with lawsuits, though online music piracy remains prevalent. More effective approaches to fighting music piracy can be developed with the aid of an understanding of individual attitu...

We propose an automated composing system for sub-melodies focusing especially on pitch and rhythm. We constructed the system using a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). In a composing experiment, we obtained various melodies depending on the song set used for learning, and the results suggest that this system can learn the features of song sets that are selected while considering music genres, music cul...

Music tags include different types of musical information. The tags of same or different types can be assigned together by human to a specific song. This may lead to some specific tag co-occurrence patterns among auditorily similar songs. In this paper, we propose a novel generative approach via Latent Music Semantic Analysis (LMSA) to model and predict the tag co-occurrence pattern of a song. ...

Current music recommender systems only use basic information for recommending music to its listeners. These usually include artist, album, genre, tempo and other song information. Online recommender systems would include ratings and annotation tags by other people as well. We propose a recommender system that recommends music depending on how the listener wants to feel while listening to the mu...

previously studies have shown that music can be used to increase the time to engage in physical activity but music's role in controlling the intensity of pa has been studied less. the sensorimotor synchronization (sms), the coordination of rhythmic movement with rhythmic sensory stimuli method, seems to have enough potential and can be applied instead of the previous method for ordinary pe...
