The increasing availability of music in digital format needs to be matched by the
development of tools for music accessing, filtering, classification, and retrieval. The research …

The original edition of The Geometry of Musical Rhythm was the first book to provide a
systematic and accessible computational geometric analysis of the musical rhythms of the …

This paper discusses the current state of knowledge on musical pattern finding. Various
studies propose computational methods to find repeated musical patterns. Our detailed …

Musical rhythm is considered from the point of view of geometry. The interaction between the
two fields yields new insights into rhythm and music theory, as well as new problems for …

The geometric approach to intra-opus pattern discovery (in which notes are represented as
points in pitch-time space in order to discover repeated patterns within a piece of music) …

Information retrieval systems, especially those accessed over the Internet, are ubiquitous in
our globalizing world. Many are wonderfully easy to use, and it is therefore easy to assume …

Robust data retrieval in the presence of uncertainty is a challenging problem in multimedia
information retrieval. In query-by-humming (QBH) systems, uncertainty can arise in query …

Information filtering systems, which recommend appropriate information to users from
enormous amount of information, are becoming popular. One method of information filtering …

We have all heard numerous melodies, whether they come from commercial **gles, jazz
ballads, operatic arias, or any of a variety of different sources. How a human detects …

Performing similarity search in large databases is a problem of particular interest in many
communities, such as music, database, and data mining. Although several solutions have …
