The Simile Algorithm for Melodic Similarity
نویسندگان
چکیده
This abstract sketches the approach and the employed means for constructing measures of melodic similarity in our software toolbox SIMILE. For different tasks related to melodic similarity different hybrid algorithms proved to be optimal. The hybrid algorithms consist of several single algorithms mostly known in the literature that are taken together in a linear combination. One special linear combination is chosen to serve for the given task in this contest. The single measures contained in this hybrid algorithm are explained briefly and references to more detailed publications are given.

Applying Rhythmic Similarity Based on Inner Metric Analysis to Folksong Research
In this paper we investigate the role of rhythmic similarity as part of melodic similarity in the context of Folksong research. We define a rhythmic similarity measure based on Inner Metric Analysis and apply it to groups of similar melodies. The comparison with a similarity measure of the SIMILE software shows that the two models agree on the number of melodies that are considered very similar...
متن کاملSimile Classifiers for Face Classification
We present a new approach to face classification using simile classifiers. Unlike other methods we explicitly estimate similarity distances to the known reference people and use these similarities as high-level features for the classification of the test face. We test our algorithm on gender classification problem. Our algorithm shows classification accuracy of 92.96% on LFW dataset.
متن کاملExtended abstract for submissions to MIREX 2006: Three algorithms for symbolic similarity computation
In the past we have explored different methods for abstracting information within different musical dimensions from melodies and for comparing, i.e. measuring the similarity, two abstract sequences which may represent monophonic melodies. All abstraction and similarity computation methods are implemented in our software toolbox SIMILE. The individual methods are described in greater detail in [7].
متن کاملOn Optimizing the Editing Algorithms for Evaluating Similarity Between Monophonic Musical Sequences
Melody is an important property for the perceptual description of Western musical pieces. In the monophonic context, retrieval systems based on melodic similarity generally consider sequences of pitches and durations. Algorithms that have been proposed for measuring melodic similarity rely on geometric representations, string matching techniques, etc. Adaptations of editing algorithms, mainly a...
