Musik Informationssökning. En fallstudie av MI i modern rock och metal musik (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

"Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is a multidisciplinary research endeavor that strives to develop innovative content-based searching themes, novel interfaces, and evolving networked delivery mechanisms in an effort to make worlds vast store of music accessible to all" (Downie, summer 2004). The purpose of this study is analysis of some MIR algorithms and their efficiency on modern rock and metal songs. To do so, one algorithm for four of most commonly MIR uses was chosen, described and evaluated on full songs or fragments of them. Music separation part proved that it is possible to effectively separate repeating background. Audio fingerprinting experiments show that higher quality of records generate significantly better results. Modern metal music turned out to be difficult for tempo estimation and chord recognition was working. All results show that modern rock and metal music, even though complicated, can be analyzed but still needs more research in this field to make it effectively.

Abstract [sv]

Detta dokument beskriver fyra musik informationssökning algoritmer och deras effektivitet på modern rock och metal musik. Spåra separation, ljudfingeravtryck, tempo uppskattning och ackord erkännande lösningar har undersökts med hjälp av olika inställningar och ljudfiler för att avgöra om de kan användas för analys av modern rock och metal musik. Experiment visat att algoritmer designade för mer populära typer av musik kan användas effektivt med rätt inställningar men kan förbättras.
