We present a browser application that offers the user an enhanced access to the content of music web services. Most importantly, the technique we apply aims at making it feasible to add to the automated suggestion of similar artists some intentional spin, or direction. At the heart of the algorithm, automatically derived artist descriptions are analyzed for common topics or aspects, and each ar...

This paper describes a method of mapping music into a semantic space that can be used for similarity measurement, classification, and music information retrieval. The value along each dimension of this anchor space is computed as the output from a pattern classifier which is trained to measure a particular semantic feature. In anchor space, distributions that represent objects such as artists o...

Recent examination and treatment of the Worcester Art Museum’s Reclining Nude, c. 1925, oil on canvas, by the Dutch-born Fauve artist Kees Van Dongen (1877-1968) indicate that the artist used unorthodox materials and techniques, including selective varnishing to adjust color saturation and surface sheen. Examination also revealed resinlike beads exuded from unvarnished passages of paint conside...

The creative process can be described as a continuous feedback loop between the material and an artist’s decision making process. A skill can be described as knowledge of a material that allows making more informed decisions and more controlled interactions. As the artist attains a deeper knowledge of a material, the cognitive process involved in creation diverges from technical considerations ...

In music information retrieval (MIR), dealing with different types of noise is important and the MIR models are frequently used in noisy environments such as live performances. Recently, i-vector features have shown great promise for some major tasks in MIR, such as music similarity and artist recognition. In this paper, we introduce a novel noise-robust music artist recognition system using i-...
