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...
Harmonic analysis is a standard musicological tool for understanding many pieces of Western classical music and making comparisons among them. Traditionally, this analysis is done...
One of the important challenges facing music information retrieval (MIR) of audio signals is scaling analysis algorithms to large collections. Typically, analysis of audio signals...
Audio search algorithms have reached a degree of speed and accuracy that allows them to search efficiently within large databases of audio. For speed, algorithms generally depend...
This paper introduces a novel way to detect metrical structure in music. We introduce a way to compute autocorrelation such that the distribution of energy in phase space is prese...
When considering the problem of audio-to-audio matching, determining musical similarity using low-level features such as Fourier transforms and MFCCs is an extremely difficult ta...
er is an extended abstract which provides a brief preliminary overview of the 2005 Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX 2005). The MIREX organizational framework...

A segmentation strategy is explored for monophonic instrumental pitched non-percussive material (PNP) which proceeds from the assertion that human-like event analysis can be found...
