Music Genre Classification Using MIDI and Audio Features

We report our findings on using MIDI files and audio features from MIDI, separately and combined together, for MIDI music genre classification. We use McKay and Fujinaga's 3-root and 9-leaf genre data set. In ...

Using Pitch, Amplitude Modulation, and Spatial Cues for Separation of Harmonic Instruments from Stereo Music Recordings

Recent work in blind source separation applied to anechoic mixtures of speech allows for improved reconstruction of sources that rarely overlap in a time-frequency representation. While the assumption that speech...

Robust and Adaptive OMR System Including Fuzzy Modeling, Fusion of Musical Rules, and Possible Error Detection

This paper describes a system for optical music recognition (OMR) in case of monophonic typeset scores. After clarifying the difficulties specific to this domain, we propose appropriate solutions at both image...

A Transcription System from MusicXML Format to Braille Music Notation

The Internet enables us to freely access music as recorded sound and even music scores. For the visually impaired, music scores must be transcribed from computer-based musical formats to Braille music notation...

Template-Based Estimation of Time-Varying Tempo

We present a novel approach to automatic estimation of tempo over time. This method aims at detecting tempo at the tactus level for percussive and nonpercussive audio. The front-end of our system is based on a...

Music Information Retrieval from a Singing Voice Using Lyrics and Melody Information

Recently, several music information retrieval (MIR) systems which retrieve musical pieces by the user's singing voice have been developed. All of these systems use only melody information for retrieval, althou...

High-Selectivity Filter Banks for Spectral Analysis of Music Signals

This paper approaches, under a unified framework, several algorithms for the spectral analysis of musical signals. Such algorithms include the fast Fourier transform (FFT), the fast filter bank (FFB), the cons...

A Model-Based Approach to Constructing Music Similarity Functions

Several authors have presented systems that estimate the audio similarity of two pieces of music through the calculation of a distance metric, such as the Euclidean distance, between spectral features calculat...

Audio Key Finding: Considerations in System Design and Case Studies on Chopin's 24 Preludes

We systematically analyze audio key finding to determine factors important to system design, and the selection and evaluation of solutions. First, we present a basic system, fuzzy analysis spiral array center ...

Multiple Scale Music Segmentation Using Rhythm, Timbre, and Harmony

The segmentation of music into intro-chorus-verse-outro, and similar segments, is a difficult topic. A method for performing automatic segmentation based on features related to rhythm, timbre, and harmony is p...

Towards Structural Analysis of Audio Recordings in the Presence of Musical Variations

One major goal of structural analysis of an audio recording is to automatically extract the repetitive structure or, more generally, the musical form of the underlying piece of music. Recent approaches to this...

Instrument Identification in Polyphonic Music: Feature Weighting to Minimize Influence of Sound Overlaps

We provide a new solution to the problem of feature variations caused by the overlapping of sounds in instrument identification in polyphonic music. When multiple instruments simultaneously play, partials (har...

A Supervised Classification Algorithm for Note Onset Detection

This paper presents a novel approach to detecting onsets in music audio files. We use a supervised learning algorithm to classify spectrogram frames extracted from digital audio as being onsets or nononsets. F...

A Discriminative Model for Polyphonic Piano Transcription

We present a discriminative model for polyphonic piano transcription. Support vector machines trained on spectral features are used to classify frame-level note instances. The classifier outputs are temporally...

Accurate tempo estimation based on harmonic + noise decomposition

We present an innovative tempo estimation system that processes acoustic audio signals and does not use any high-level musical knowledge. Our proposal relies on a harmonic + noise decomposition of the audio si...

Automatic Genre Classification of Musical Signals

We present a strategy to perform automatic genre classification of musical signals. The technique divides the signals into 21.3 milliseconds frames, from which 4 features are extracted. The values of each feat...
