ABSTRACT A Matlab toolbox implementing music similarity measures for audio is
presented. The implemented measures focus on aspects related to timbre and periodicities …

This abstract sketches the approach and the employed means for constructing measures of
melodic similarity in our software toolbox SIMILE. For different tasks related to melodic …

In order to support individual user perspectives and different retrieval tasks, music similarity
can no longer be considered as a static element of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) …

Future MIR systems will be of great use and pleasure for potential users. If researchers have
a clear picture about their “customers” in mind they can aim at building and evaluating their …

A valuable goal in the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is to devise an automatic
measure of the similarity between two musical recordings based only on an analysis of their …

This thesis aims at developing techniques which support users in accessing and discovering
music. The main part consists of two chapters. Chapter 2 gives an introduction to …

To find occurrences of melodic segments, such as themes, phrases and motifs, in musical
works, a well-performing similarity measure is needed to support human analysis of large …

This thesis is concerned with cognitively-motivated representations of musical structure.
Three problems are addressed, each related in terms of their focus on music as an object of …

Invariances are central concepts in content-based music retrieval. Musical representations
and similarity measures are designed to capture musically relevant invariances, such as …
