Multi-Strategy Segmentation of Melodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Melodic segmentation is a fundamental yet unsolved problem in automatic music processing. At present most melody segmentation models rely on a ‘single strategy’ (i.e. they model a single perceptual segmentation cue). However, cognitive studies suggest that multiple cues need to be considered. In this paper we thus propose and evaluate a ‘multi-strategy’ system to automatically segment symbolically encoded melodies. Our system combines the contribution of different single strategy boundary detection models. First, it assesses the perceptual relevance of a given boundary detection model for a given input melody; then it uses the boundaries predicted by relevant detection models to search for the most plausible segmentation of the melody. We use our system to automatically segment a corpus of instrumental and vocal folk melodies. We compare the predictions to human annotated segments, and to state of the art segmentation methods. Our results show that our system outperforms the state-of-the-art in the instrumental set.

Landmark Detection in Hindustani Music Melodies
Musical melodies contain hierarchically organized events, where some events are more salient than others, acting as melodic landmarks. In Hindustani music melodies, an important landmark is the occurrence of a nyās. Occurrence of nyās is crucial to build and sustain the format of a rāg and mark the boundaries of melodic motifs. Detection of nyās segments is relevant to tasks such as melody segm...

Image segmentation is one of the most important and difficult steps in machine vision problems and achieving the desired results often requires satisfaction of different objectives. One approach to face this situation uses multi-objective fuzzy clustering of pixels in the feature space. This paper proposes a new strategy for search within the family of multi-objective differential evolution alg...
