Josiah Boning TJHSST Senior Research Project Computer Systems Lab, 2007-2008 Music Analysis
Purpose • Framework for study of audio data • Components: • Statistical • Signal Processing • Machine Learning • Uses: • Aircraft identification • Speech recognition and synthesis • And more... • Ideal: computer recognition of music
Background • Bigarelle and Iost (1999) • Music genre can be identified by fractal dimension • Basilie et al. (2004) • Music genre can be identified by machine learning algorithms • Used discrete MIDI data
Methods • Data Processing • Spectral Analysis: Fourier Transform • Fractal Dimension: Variation and ANAM Methods • Machine Learning • Feed-Forward Neural Network
Time domain to frequency domain Spectral Analysis – Fourier Transform
Spectrogram • Many Fourier transforms sequentially
Frequency Aggregate • Horizontal sum of spectrogram
Magnitude Aggregate • Vertical sum of spectrogram • Can perform second Fourier transform
Fractal Dimension • Bigerelle and Iost – used to distinguish genre • Variation Method: • ANAM Method:
Fractal Dimension • Inaccurate calculations • Correct values around 1.6-1.9 • Variation: ~1.16 • ANAM: ~2.25 • Interpolation between samples didn’t help
Machine Learning • Neural networks • Feed-Forward
Neurons • Each node performs weighted, rescaled sum of input values • Scaling: Sigmoid function
Results • Frequency aggregate – songs are similar!
Results • Magnitude and frequency: negative correlation • Not shared bywhite noise • Fourier transform of magnitude aggregate • Meaningless
Where next? • Move code from driver to Fourier module • Otherwise, well organized • Fix fractal dimension calculations • Neural network learning algorithms • Beat detection • Other signal processing techniques
