초록

디지털 오디오 컨텐츠의 활용이 보편화되면서 오디오 데이타베이스에 대해 컨텐츠를 효과적으로 질의하고 검색하는 기능이 절실해졌다. 본 논문에서는 사용자들이 자주 질의하는 멜로디 부분을 이용하여 오디오 검색을 효과적으로 수행할 수 있는 새로운 인덱스 기법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 어떤 오디오에 대해 사용자가 기억하고 질의하는 내용이 대개 오디오의 특정 부분에 한정되어 있다는 사실에 기반하고 있다. 사용자의 이러한 질의 패턴을 이용하여 자주 질의되는 부분을 감지하고 인덱스로 사용함으로써 사용자가 원하는 곡을 빠르게 찾아낼 수 있게 해준다. 이러한 방법은 데이타베이스의 모든 컨텐츠를 순차적으로 검색하는 기존의 방법에 비해 적은 비용으로 검색 속도를 크게 향상시키며 특히 기존의 검색 시스템 상위 모듈로 사용이 가능하다. 프로토타입 시스템을 구현하고 다양한 실험을 통하여 논문에서 제안하는 기법의 우수성을 보인다.

With the popularity of digital audio contents, querying and retrieving audio contents efficiently from database has become essential. In this paper, we propose a new index scheme for retrieving audio contents efficiently using audio portions that have been queried frequently. This scheme is based on the observation that users have a tendency to memorize and query a small number of audio portions. Detecting and indexing such portions enables fast retrieval and shows better performance than sequential search-based audio retrieval. Moreover, this scheme is independent of underlying retrieval system, which means this scheme can work together with any other audio retrieval system. We have implemented a prototype system and showed its performance gain through experiments.
