In this paper a method consisting in embedding low-level music feature vectors as watermarks into a musical signal is proposed. First, a review of some recent watermarking techniques and the main goals of development of digital watermarking research are provided. Then, a short overview of parameterization employed in the area of Music Information Retrieval is given. A methodology of non-blind watermarking applied to music-content...

In this work we present a new Bayesian topic model: latent hierarchical Pitman-Yor process allocation (LHPYA), which uses hierarchical Pitman-Yor pr ocess priors for both word and topic distributions, and generalizes a few of the existing topic models, including the latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), the bi- gram topic model and the hierarchical Pitman-Yor topic model. Using such priors allows for integration of -grams with a topic model,...

This chapter reviews the key concepts associated with automated Music Information Retrieval (MIR). First, current research trends and system solutions in terms of music retrieval and music recommendation are discussed. Next, experiments performed on a constructed music database are presented. A proposal for music retrieval and annotation aided by gaze tracking is also discussed.

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie kluczowych zagadnień gwałtownie rozwijającej się gałęzi multimediów, reprezentowanej przez systemy automatycznego wyszukiwania informacji muzycznej MIR - Music Information Retrieval, która urasta do samodzielnej dziedziny zastosowań w obrębie informatyki muzycznej. W artykule przedstawiono wybrane systemy wyszukiwania informacji muzycznej oraz przedstawiono przykład takiego systemu, zrealizowanego...

This paper introduces the Music Clustering by Directions (MCBD) algorithm. The algorithm is designed to support users of query by humming systems in formulating queries. This kind of systems makes it possible to retrieve songs and tunes on the basis of a melody recorded by the user. The Music Clustering by Directions algorithm is a kind of an interactive query expansion method. On the basis of query, the algorithm provides suggestions...
