In this paper we examine the retrieval performance of adjacent and concurrent n-grams generated from polyphonic music data. We deploy a method to index polyphonic music using a wo...
Systems for sound retrieval are usually “sourcecentred”. This means that retrieval is based on using the proper keywords that define or specify a sound source. Although this t...
We have investigated the performance of a hidden Markov model QBH retrieval system on a large musical database. The database is synthetic, generated from statistics gleaned from o...
Despite the “fuzzy” nature of musical similarity, which varies from one person to another, perceptual low level features combined with appropriate classification schemes have...
The availability of large music collections calls for ways to efficiently access and explore them. We present a new approach which combines descriptors derived from audio analysi...
