Recently, the study of efficient way to store and retrieve enormous music data is becoming the one of important issues in the multimedia database. Most general method of MIR (Music Information Retrieval) includes a text-based approach using text information to search a desired music. However, if users did not remember the keyword about the music, it can not give them correct answers. Moreover, since these types of systems are implemented only for exact matching between the query and music data, it can not mine any information on similar music data. Thus, these systems are inappropriate to achieve similarity matching of music data. In order to solve the problem, we propose an Efficient Query-By-Humming System (EQBHS) with a content-based indexing method that efficiently retrieve and store music when a user inquires with his incorrect humming. For the purpose of accelerating query processing in EQBHS, we design indices for significant melodies, which are 1) frequent melodies occurring many times in a single music, on the assumption that users are to hum what they can easily remember and 2) melodies partitioned by rests. In addition, we propose an error tolerated mapping method from a note to a character to make searching efficient, and the frequent melody extraction algorithm. We verified the assumption for frequent melodies by making up questions and compared the performance of the proposed EQBHS with N-gram by executing various experiments with a number of music data.

This paper proposes a matching engine for a query-by-singing/humming (QbSH) system with polyphonic music files like MP3 files. The pitch sequences extracted from polyphonic recordings may be distorted. So we use chroma-scale representation, pre-processing, compensation, and asymmetric dynamic time warping to reduce the influence of the distortions. From the experiment with 28 hour music DB, the performance of our QbSH system based on polyphonic database is very promising in comparison with the published QbSH system based on monophonic database. It shows 0.725 in MRR(Mean Reciprocal Rank). Our matching engine can be used for the QbSH system based on MIDI DB also and that performance was verified by MIREX 2011.

Recently, we extract the representative melody of the music and index the music to reduce searching time at the content-based music retrieval system. The existing study has used MIDI data to extract a representative melody but it has a weak point that can use only MIDI data. Therefore, this paper proposes a representative melody retrieval method that can be use at all audio file format and uses digital signal processing. First, we use Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) and find the tempo and node for the representative melody retrieval. And we measure the frequency of high value that appears from PCM Data of each node. The point which the high value is gathering most is the starting point of a representative melody and an eight node from the starting point is a representative melody section of the audio data. To verity the performance of the method, we chose a thousand of the song and did the experiment to extract a representative melody from the song. In result, the accuracy of the extractive representative melody was 79.5% among the 737 songs which was found tempo.

허밍을 통한 유사 검색 질의가 주어질 때 효과적으로 음악 데이터베이스를 검색하는 시스템에 대한 연구는 다양한 방향으로 진행되어 왔다. 최근에는 음악 데이터와 허밍 질의를 시계열 데이터로 보고 시계열 데이터 유사 검색과 관련하여 제안되어 왔던 여러 가지 거리 척도(distance measure)나 인덱싱 기법등을 적용하여 효과적으로 질의를 처리하려는 시도가 계속 되고 있다. 허밍 질의의 특성을 고려한 균일 스케일링(Uniform Scaling)을 사용하여 효과적인 유사 검색을 하는 방법은 가장 최근 제시된 방법 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 허밍을 통한 유사 검색 시스템인 Humming BIRD(Humming Based similaR miDi music retrieval system)를 제안하고 구현하였다. 슬라이딩 윈도우를 사용하여 음악의 임의의 부분에 대한 허밍 질의를 처리할 수 있도록 하였으며 효율적인 검색을 위해 중심을 일치시킨(center-aligned) 균일 스케일링을 제안하고 이 거리의 하한을 계산하는 하계 함수를 사용하여 탐색 공간(search space)을 효과적으로 줄여 더 빠르고 효과적인 유사 검색을 가능하도록 하였으며 실험을 통해 중심을 일치시킨된 균일 스케일링이 이전과 같은 검색 결과를 얻으면서도 효과적으로 검색함을 탐색 공간을 줄이는 가지치기 성능을 비교함으로써 보였다.

MusicXML, ScoreML과 같은 포맷은 음악을 XML로 표현한 것으로 음정, 박자, 조성, 리듬, 화음 등 모든 정보를 표현하기 위해 고안되었다. 즉, XML이 가지고 있는 간단성, 확장성, 재사용성의 장점을 가지며 분석, 검색, 표기법에 훨씬 큰 장점을 가진 마크업 언어들이다. 기존의 음악 검색에 대한 연구들이 음악파일에 대한 것에 행해졌던 것에 비해 본 논문은 음악을 덱스트로 표현한 XML에서 효과적인 선율 검색을 위해 계이름을 사용한 검색시스템을 제안한다.

Music emotion recognition is currently one of the most attractive research areas in music information retrieval. In order to use emotion as clues when searching for a particular music, several music based emotion recognizing systems are fundamentally utilized. In order to maximize user satisfaction, the recognition accuracy is very important. In this paper, we develop a new music emotion recognition system, which employs a multilabel feature selector and multilabel classifier. The performance of the proposed system is demonstrated using novel musical emotion data.

This study examines the retrieval efficiency of the FRBR-based bibliographic retrieval system. To do this, we built two experimental retrieval systems(a FRBR-based system constructed through FRBRizing algorithms and an OPAC-based retrieval system) using 387 music materials coded in a KORMARC format. Next, we set up six hypotheses and compared these two systems in terms of recall, precision, and retrieval time using 28 participants and a questionnaire with 12 queries. The results show that the average recall value of the FRBR-based system Is higher than that of the OPAC system regardless of query types and the average precision and retrieval time values of manifestation queries of the OPAC system is more efficient that those of the FRBR-based system. This study results can be used to customize digital library interfaces as well as to improve the retrieval efficiency of the bibliographic retrieval system.

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.

Music genre classification is an essential component for music information retrieval system. There are two important components to be considered for better genre classification, which are audio feature extraction and classifier. This paper incorporates two different kinds of features for genre classification, timbral texture and rhythmic content features. Timbral texture contains several spectral and Mel-frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) features. Before choosing a timbral feature we explore which feature contributes less significant role on genre discrimination. This facilitates the reduction of feature dimension. For the timbral features up to the 4-th order central moments and the covariance components of mutual features are considered to improve the overall classification result. For the rhythmic content the features extracted from beat histogram are selected. In the paper Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) with bagging is used as classifier for classifying the genres. Based on the proposed feature sets and classifier, experiment is performed with well-known datasets: GTZAN databases with ten different music genres, respectively. The proposed method acquires the better classification accuracy than the existing approaches.

This paper proposes a new strategy of emotion-based music visualization. Emotional LED lighting control system is suggested to help audiences enhance the musical experience. In the system, emotion in music is recognized by a proposed algorithm using a dimensional approach. The algorithm used a method of music emotion variation detection to overcome some weaknesses of Thayer's model in detecting emotion in a one-second music segment. In addition, IRI color model is combined with Thayer's model to determine LED light colors corresponding to 36 different music emotions. They are represented on LED lighting control system through colors and animations. The accuracy of music emotion visualization achieved to over 60%.
