OBJECTIVES to MIR for audio signals. The main objective of this tutorial is to provide an overview of the current status of music information retrieval (MIR) for audio 2. TUTORIAL OUTLINE signals. The intended audience are people with a technical 2.1 Introduction-Motivation background who are interested to learn the main approaches and current status of MIR for audio signals. An important part of the 2.2 Representation intended audience would consist of researchers who have a In this section various representations of audio signals that can be background in symbolic MIR and/or musicology and music used for audio MIR will be described. More specifically proposed cognition and are interested to learn more about the ways to represent timbral texture, rhythmic structure, and pitch similarities/differences of audio MIR to their respective fields. content will be reviewed. Demonstrations of several of the described algorithms and techniques will be part of the tutorial presentation. 2.2.1 Timbral texture feature extraction Features based on Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT), Mel-The goals of this tutorial are: Frequency ...
