Modelling experts’ notions of melodic similarity

• ABSTRACT In this article we show that a subgroup of music experts has a reliable and consistent notion of melodic similarity, and that this notion can be measured with satisfactory precision. Our measurements enable us to model the similarity ratings of music experts by automated and algorithmic means. A large number of algorithmic similarity measure found in the literature were mathematicall...

Assessing the Performance of Melodic Similarity Algorithms Using Human Judgments of Similarity

This paper outlines a project to identify reliable algorithms for measuring melodic similarity by using melodies extracted from a piece of music in Theme and Variations form, for which human judgements of similarity have been gathered.

On 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...

Computational Models for Perceived Melodic Similarity in A Cappella Flamenco Singing

The present study investigates the mechanisms involved in the perception of melodic similarity in the context of a cappella flamenco singing performances. Flamenco songs belonging to the same style are characterized by a common melodic skeleton, which is subject to spontaneous improvisation containing strong prolongations and ornamentations. For our research we collected human similarity judgem...
