MelodyShape at MIREX 2015 Symbolic Melodic Similarity. 11st the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX 2015); 2015 Oct 26-30; Málaga, Spain. [place unknown]: MIREX; 2015.http://hdl.handle.net/10230/27546This short paper describes our three submissions to the 2015 edition of the MIREX Symbolic Melodic Similarity task. They all rely on a geometric model that represents melodies as spline curves in the pitch-time plane. The similarity between two melodies is then computed with a sequence alignment algorithm between sequences of spline spans: the more similar the shape of the curves, the more similar the melodies they represent. All submissions are the same we submitted last year, so they can serve as baseline to new submissions.application/pdfengThis document is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License.info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObjectSymbolic melodic similaritySequence alignment algorithmNew open source library melodyshapeMirex symbolic melodic similarity taskSpline curveGeometric modelShort paperPitch-time planeSpline spanMain differenceLast yearPrevious mirexEffectiveness measuresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
