New music genres emerge constantly resulting from the influence of existing genres and other factors. In this paper we propose a data-driven approach which is able to cluster and classify music samples according to their type/category. The clustering method uses no previous knowledge on the genre of the individual samples or on the number of genres present in the dataset. This way, music taggin...

The availability of semantically enriched data in repositories of larger content providers offers a means for new ways of multimedia presentation authoring.

The semantics of the times macro is given in [2] only for the case when the body of the macro is parahalting. We remedy this by defining a new times macro instruction in terms of while (see [9, 13]). The semantics of the new times macro is given in a way analogous to the semantics of while macros. The new times uses an anonymous variable to control the number of its executions. We present two e...
