Reliable and fine-grained musical metadata are required for efficient search of rapidly increasing music files. In particular, since the primary motive for listening to music is its emotional effect, diversion, and the memories it awakens, emotion classification along with genre classification of music is crucial. In this paper, as an initial approach towards a "ground-truth" dataset for music emotion and genre classification, we elaborately generated a music corpus through labeling of a large number of ordinary people. In order to verify the suitability of the dataset through the classification results, we extracted features according to MPEG-7 audio standard and applied different machine learning models based on statistics and deep neural network to automatically classify the dataset. By using standard hyperparameter setting, we reached an accuracy of 93% for genre classification and 80% for emotion classification, and believe that our dataset can be used as a meaningful comparative dataset in this research field.

음악 검색에 있어 소셜 태그 정보는 사용자로 하여금 음악의 내재적 의미를 빠르게 파악할 수 있도록 한다. 음악의 소셜 태그 정보는 음악 추천 시스템을 활용하는 사용자(청취자)에 의해 점진적으로 완성되기 때문에 초기에 완전한 태그 정보를 수집하는 것은 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 음악의 일부 태그가 누락되어 있는 상황에서 음악 정보 검색을 자동으로 수행할 수 있는 클래스 분류 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다.

In this method, we extract peak periods using energy contents of each segment of music. This feature extraction method is equally applied on both the training and query music. Similarity matching algorithm is applied on the extracted feature values for identifying the query music from the database. The retrieval accuracy of 95% of our method is a pretty good result.

This paper proposes a salient chromagram components extraction method based on the temporal discrete cosine transform of a chromagram block to improve cover song retrieval accuracy. The proposed salient chromagram emphasizes tonal contents of music, which are well-preserved between an original song and its cover version, while reducing the effects of timbre difference. We apply the proposed salient chromagram extraction method as a preprocessing step for the Fourier-transform based cover song matching. Experiments on two cover song datasets confirm that the proposed salient chromagram improves the cover song search accuracy.

Database community focuses on the similar music retrieval systems for music database when a humming query is given. One of the approaches is converting the midi data to time series, building their indices and performing the similarity search on them. Queries based on humming can be transformed to time series by using the known pitch detection algorithms. The recently suggested algorithm, scaled and warped matching, is based on dynamic time warping and uniform scaling. This paper proposes Humming BIRD(Humming Based sImilaR mini music retrieval system) using sliding window and center-aligned scaled and warped matching. Center-aligned scaled and warped matching is a mixed distance measure of center-aligned uniform scaling and time warping. The newly proposed measure gives tighter lower bound than previous ones which results in reduced search space. The empirical results show the superiority of this algorithm comparing the pruning power while it returns the same results.

The recent development of multimedia content-based retrieval technologies brings great attention of musician retrieval using features of a digital audio data among music information retrieval technologies. But the indexing techniques for music databases have not been studied completely. In this paper, we present a musician retrieval technique for audio features using the space split methods in the time-series pattern index file. We use features of audio to retrieve the musician and a time-series pattern index file to search the candidate musicians. Experimental results show that the time-series pattern index file using the rotational split method is efficient for musician retrievals in the time-series pattern files.

Thanks to the development of the Internet, people can easily access a vast amount of music. This brings attention to application systems such as a melody-based music search service or music recommendation service. Extracting melodies from music is a crucial process to provide such services. This paper introduces a novel algorithm that can extract melodies from piano music. Since piano can produce polyphonic music, we expect that by studying melody extraction from piano music, we can help extract melodies from general polyphonic music.

The purpose of this study is to observe and analyze information searching behaviors of various user groups in different access modes for designing user-centered query interface of content-based Music Information Retrieval System(MIRS). Two expert groups and two non-expert groups were recruited for this research. The data gathering techniques employed in this study were in-depth interviewing, participant observation, searching task experiments, think-aloud protocols, and post-search surveys. Expert users, especially majoring in music theory, preferred to input exact notes one by one using the devices such as keyboard and musical score. On the other hand, non-expert users preferred to input melodic contours by humming.

For musical genre classification, various types of feature vectors are utilized. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC), decorrelated filter bank (DFB), and octave-based spectral contrast (OSC) are widely used as short-term features, and their long-term variations are also utilized. In this paper, OSC features are extracted not only in the single-octave band domain, but also in the multiple-octave band one to capture the correlation between octave bands. As a baseline system, we select the genre classification system that won the fourth place in the 2012 music information retrieval evaluation exchange (MIREX) contest. By applying the OSC features based on multiple-octave bands, we obtain the better classification accuracy by 0.40% and 3.15% for the GTZAN and Ballroom databases, respectively.
