A System for Music Information Retrieval

摘要

Information Retrieval, and in part Music Information Retrieval, has come to the fore in recent years as a research area. In this paper we outline the design of a system which allows for the retrieval of tunes from a music database. We describe algorithms and implementation of techniques to allow for the retrieval of tunes based on the occurrence of phrases or sub-phrases together with algorithms for the comparison of tunes via the vector space model.
