  • SSPR/SPR - A shallow description framework for Musical style recognition
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2004
    Co-Authors: Pedro J. Ponce De León, Carlos Pérez-sancho, José M. Iñesta
    Abstract:

    In the field of computer music, pattern recognition algorithms are very relevant for music information retrieval (MIR). One challenging task within this area is the automatic recognition of Musical style, that has a number of applications like indexing and selecting Musical databases. In this paper, the classification of monophonic melodies of two different Musical Styles (jazz and classical) represented symbolically as MIDI files is studied, using different classification methods: Bayesian classifier and nearest neighbour classifier. From the music sequences, a number of melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic statistical descriptors are computed and used for style recognition. We present a performance analysis of such algorithms against different description models and parameters.

  • Musical style classification from symbolic data: A two-Styles case study
    Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2004
    Co-Authors: Pedro J. Ponce De León, José M. Iñesta
    Abstract:

    In this paper the classification of monophonic melodies from two different Musical Styles (Jazz and classical) is studied using different classification methods: Bayesian classifier, a k-NN classifier, and self-organising maps (SOM). From MIDI files, the monophonic melody track is extracted and cut into fragments of equal length. From these sequences, A number of melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic numerical descriptors are computed and analysed in terms of separability in two music classes, obtaining several reduced descriptor sets. Finally, the classification results for each type of classifier for the different descriptor models are compared. This scheme has a number of applications like indexing and selecting Musical databases or the evaluation of style-specific automatic composition systems.

  • classification of Musical Styles using liquid state machines
    International Joint Conference on Neural Network, 2010
    Co-Authors: Antonius M J Vandongen
    Abstract:

    Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is an interdisciplinary field that facilitates indexing and content-based organization of music databases. Music classification and clustering is one of the major topics in MIR. Music can be defined as ‘organized sound’. The highly ordered temporal structure of music suggests it should be amendable to analysis by a novel spiking neural network paradigm: the liquid state machine (LSM). Unlike conventional statistical approaches that require the presence of static input data, the LSM has a unique ability to classify music in real-time, due to its dynamics and fading-memory. This paper investigates the performance of an LSM in classifying Musical Styles (ragtime vs. classical), as well as its ability to distinguish music from note sequences without temporal structure. The results show that the LSM performs admirably in this task.
