This paper presents a novel drum transcription system for polyphonic music. The use of a band-wise harmonic/noise decomposition allows the suppression of the deterministic part of...
Unlike fixed-pitch instruments such as the piano, human singing can stray from a target pitch by as much as a semitone while still being perceived as a single fixed note. This p...
Tonality is an important aspect of musical structure. Detecting key of music is one of the major tasks in tonal analysis and will benefit semantic segmentation of music for indexi...
In this paper we give an overview of the Foafing the Music system. The system uses the Friend of a Friend (FOAF) and Rich Site Summary (RSS) vocabularies for recommending music t...
We are introducing novelty detection, i.e. the automatic identification of new or unknown data not covered by the training data, to the field of music information retrieval. Two...
Music classification continues to be an important component of music information retrieval research. An underutilized tool for improving the performance of classifiers is feature ...
This paper focuses on gathering similarity ratings for use in the construction, optimization and evaluation of melodic similarity algorithms. The approach involves conducting list...
Audio descriptor extraction is the activity of finding mathematical models which describe properties of the sound, requiring signal processing skills. The scientific literature pr...
A number of approaches for automatic audio classification are based on hierarchical taxonomies since it is acknowledged that improved performance can be thereby obtained. In this...
