Using Natural Language Input and Audio Analysis for a Human-oriented MIR System

By: Stephan Baumann, Andreas Klüter, and Marie Norlien (2002)
Proceedings of WEDELMUSIC, the International Conference on Web Delivering of Music, Darmstadt, Germany.

Abstract: In this paper we will present a MIR (Music Information Retrieval) system using natural language as input for human-oriented queries to large-scale music collections, applicable in web databases, cd-chargers for cars, or mobile services. The outlined system is a full-fledged architecture combining state-of-the-art approaches from the fields of natural language understanding including phonetic matching, automatic analysis of audio data for the purpose of meta tag construction, content-based classification of audio and music ontologies as a backbone for the representation of musical knowledge. On top of this architecture different prototypes for industrial applications are described including first results of real-life field tests. This work has been performed at the German Research Center for AI and the authors spin-off company, the sonicson GmbH.
