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 …

Musical incipits are short extracts of scores, taken from the beginning. The RISM A/II
collection contains about half a million of them. This large collection size makes a ground …

A prominent aspect of the notion of musical similarity across the music of various cultures is
related to the local matching of melodic motifs. This holds for Indian art music, a highly …

Music software applications often require similarity-finding measures. In this study, we
describe an empirically derived measure for determining similarity between two melodies …

We compare two methods of measuring melodic similarity for symbolically represented
polyphonic music. Both exploit advantages of transportation distances such as continuity …

This thesis contains new results on the subject of polygonal structure reconfiguration.
Specifically, the types of structures considered here are polygons, polygonal chaills …

The Musical Contour literature provides multiple algorithms for melodic contour similarity.
However, most of them are limited in use by the melody length of input data. In this paper I …
