Search engines often employ techniques for determining syntactic similarity of Web pages. Such a tool allows them to avoid returning multiple copies of essentially the same page when a user makes a query. Here we describe our experience extending these techniques to MIDI music les. The music domain requires modi cation to cope with problems introduced in the musical setting, such as polyphony. ...

Comparing Resemblance Measures∗

In the paper some types of equivalences over resemblance measures and some basic results about them are given. Based on induced partial orderings on the set of unordered pairs of units a dissimilarity between two resemblance measures over finite set of units can be defined. As an example, using this dissimilarity standard association coefficients between binary vectors are compared both theoret...
