INTRODUCTIONSCVEXAMPLESAPPLICATIONSCONCLUSIONS Outline¦ Scope ¦ Other Measures • Similarity measures are fundamental in music information retrieval and play one of the most important roles in Artificial Intelligence towards the establishment of fitness functions. • The aim is to create a similarity measure for rhythmic sequences that can capture patterns in several hierarchical levels, spanning from a small rhythmic phrase to longer structures. 10º Simpósio Brasileiro de Computação Musical (SBCM2005)
