Making Searchable Melodies: Human versus Machine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Systems that find music recordings based on hummed or sung, melodic input are called Query-By-Humming (QBH) systems. Such systems employ search keys that are more similar to a cappella singing than the original recordings. Successful deployed systems use human computation to create these search keys: hand-entered MIDI melodies or recordings of a cappella singing. Tunebot is one such system. In this paper, we compare search results using keys built from two automated melody extraction system to those gathered using two populations of humans: local paid singers and Amazon Turk workers.

متن کاملSocial Cognition and Melodic Persistence: Where Metadata and Content Diverge
The automatic retrieval of members of a tune family from a database of melodies is potentially complicated by well documented divergences between textual metadata and musical content. We examine recently reported cases of such divergences in search of musical features which persist even when titles change or the melodies themselves vary. We find that apart from meter and mode, the rate of prese...

متن کاملSearchable Translation Memories
In this paper we introduce a technique for creating searchable translation memories. Linear B’s searchable translation memories allow a translator to type in a phrase and retrieve a ranked list of possible translations for that phrase, which is ordered based on the likelihood of the translations. The searchable translation memories use translation models similar to those used in statistical mac...
