Melody similarity in music is a perception of listeners based on cognitive method. Thus, the
algorithms should be based on perceptually oriented computational model. We have used …

This article describes how transportation distances such as the Earth Mover's Distance can
be used for measuring melodic similarity for notated music. We represent music notation as …

In the context of pattern extraction from polyphonic music, we challenge an approach
outside time for computing the similarity between two musical sequences which neither …

In this article we determine the role of different musical features for the human categorization
of folk songs into tune families in a large collection of Dutch folk songs. Through an …

Music similarity underlies a large part of a listener's experience, as it relates to familiarity and
associations between different pieces or parts. Rhythmic similarity has received scant …

This paper presents a computationally efficient method for quantifying the degree of tonal
similarity between two pieces of music. The properties we examine are key frequencies and …

The amount of music available digitally is overwhelmingly increasing. Vast amounts of music
are available for listeners, and require automatic organization and ltering. In this context …

This short paper describes four submissions to the Symbolic Melodic Similarity task of the
MIREX 2010 edition. All four submissions rely on a local-alignment approach between …

This paper presents an approach to the analysis of melodic similarity as a determinant of
melody structure, which has been applied successfully as a computational system of …

This review article presents the state-of-the-art in contextbased music similarity estimation. It
gives an overview of different sources of context-based data on music entities and …
