Melodies provide an important conceptual summarization of polyphonic audio. The extraction of melodic content has practical applications ranging from content-based audio retrieval...
This paper presents a melody spotting system based on Variable Duration Hidden Markov Models (VDHMM’s), capable of locating monophonic melodies in a database of raw audio record...
Music information retrieval is characterized by a number of various user information needs. Systems are being developed that allow searchers to find melodies, rhythms, genres, an...
At its heart, music information retrieval is characterized by the need to find the similarity between pieces of music. However, “similar” does not mean “the same”. Theref...
In this paper, we study the use of spectral patterns to represent the characteristics of the rhythm of an audio signal. A function representing the position of onsets over time is...
Selecting the ‘right’ songs and putting them in the ‘right’ order are key to a great music listening or dance experience. ‘SatisFly’ is an interactive playlist generat...
We present a study on the importance of psycho-acoustic transformations for effective audio feature calculation. From the results, both crucial and problematic parts of the algori...
This paper describes a fast audio detection method for specific audio retrieval in the AV stream. The method is a histogram matching algorithm based on structural and perceptual f...
This paper describes a hierarchical approach for fast audio stream segmentation and classification. With this approach, the audio stream is firstly segmented into audio clips by M...
In the “query-by-humming” problem, we attempt to retrieve a specific song from a target set based on a sung query. Recent evaluations of query-by-humming systems show that th...
