Michael Kassler mentioned the term “Musical Information Retrieval”(MIR) as early as 1966
[31]. He describes an assembler-like programming language called MIR which can be used …

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 …

We present a new geometric model to compute the melodic similarity of symbolic musical
pieces. Melodies are represented as splines in the pitch-time plane, and their similarity is …

We consider the problem of intra-opus pattern discovery, that is, the task of discovering
patterns of a specified type within a piece of music. A music analyst undertook this task for …

An algorithm that discovers the themes, motives and other perceptually significant repeated
patterns in a musical work can be used, for example, in a music information retrieval system …

Abstract Analysis of musical styles is a complex cognitive task normally performed by music
fans and critics, and due to the multi-dimensional nature of music data can be considered a …

Nowadays, the availability of huge amount of music stored in digital format in public or
personal collections creates problems for their organization and for locating information …

We study the problem of identifying repetitions under transposition and time-warp
invariances in polyphonic symbolic music. Using a novel onset-time-pair representation, we …

We consider two formulations of the computational problem of transposition-invariant, time-
offset tolerant, meterinvariant, and time-scale invariant polyphonic music retrieval. We …

This paper studies the problem of transposition and time-scale invariant (ttsi) polyphonic
music retrieval in symbolically encoded music. In the setting, music is represented by sets of …
