Speaker:
Dr. Namunu Chinthaka Maddage
(Institute of Infocomm research (I2R), Singapore)

Title:
Content Based Music Structure Analysis.

Abstract:
Music structure analysis is essential in order to understand music data and
helpful for developing many music applications such as music transcription,
music information retrieval systems, music watermarking, error concealment
in music streaming, music summarization and mixed media (audio + video)
applications.
In this presentation, I talk about a conceptual pyramid model which
represents the music structure information and propose signal processing
techniques which incorporate music knowledge for extracting information in
music data.
Proposed music data analysis procedures indicate better results than
conventional speech processing techniques.
