"Musical Knowledge, Computational Models and Retrieval"
Elaine Chew (echew@usc.edu)

ABSTRACT: Approaches to music information retrieval that are grounded
in musical Intuition and knowledge can exploit the multiple levels of
musical structure to increase efficiency and lend insights into the
retrieval process. The tutorial will provide a gentle introduction to
musical concepts, with a focus on pitch structure, and an overview of
computational models for tonal induction, approximation and
segmentation. The algorithms will be based mainly on the Spiral Array
model, a geometric model for tonality that represents and summarizes
tonal entities in 3D space. The musical features extracted
computationally will be verified aurally. Implications for, and
applications to, music information retrieval will be discussed. The
tutorial assumes no musical knowledge, only open ears and some musical
intuition.
