Methods for Combining Statistical Models of Music

Abstract. The paper concerns the use of multiple viewpoint representation schemes for prediction with statistical models of monophonic music. We present an experimental comparison of the performance of two techniques for combining predictions within the multiple viewpoint framework. The results demonstrate that a new technique based on a weighted geometric mean outperforms existing techniques. This finding is discussed in terms of previous research in machine learning.
