Subject: Melody Extraction vamp plug-in available online From: Justin Salamon <justin.salamon@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2012 18:47:19 +0200 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--047d7b5da1f73714ed04cb52a143 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable *** apologies for any cross-postings *** Dear list, We are very pleased to announce the launch of the: MELODIA - Melody Extraction vamp plug-in <http://mtg.upf.edu/technologies/melodia>. The plug-in implements our melody extraction algorithm which obtained good results in last year's MIREX Audio Melody Extraction campaign. Full details of the algorithm are available in: J. Salamon and E. G=F3mez, "Melody Extraction from Polyphonic Music Signals using Pitch Contour Characteristics<http://www.justinsalamon.com/uploads/4/3/9/4/4394963/salamo= ngomezmelodytaslp2012.pdf>", IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing, 20(6):1759-1770, Aug. 2012. The plug-in is available online for free download (non-commercial purposes) on: http://mtg.upf.edu/technologies/melodia A slightly less formal description of the algorithm, including graphs and audio examples can be found on: http://www.justinsalamon.com/melody-extraction.html In addition to benchmarking new algorithms against MELODIA, we hope it will serve the research community for research problems which could benefit from a predominant F0 estimator (e.g. query by humming, version identification, motif discovery and analysis, automatic transcription, source separation, etc.). For those of you attending ISMIR 2012, I will be demo-ing the plug-in during the Demos and Late-breaking<http://ismir2012.wikispaces.com/Program+suggestions>track. We are very interested in receiving feedback from the research community, please let us know what you think! Best regards and hope to see you next week in Porto!
