Semantic-based Similiarity of Music

Abstract

Existing approaches to music identification such as audio fingerprinting are generally data-driven and based on statistical information. They require a particular pattern for each individual instance of the same song. Hence, these approaches are not capable of dealing with the vast amount of music that is composed via methods of improvisation and variation. Futhermore, they are unable to measure the similarity of two pieces of music. This paper presents a different, semantic-based view on the identification and structuring of symbolic music patterns. This new method will allow us to detect different instances of the same song and acquire their degree of similarity.
