Berlin: Logos Verlag; 2008. p. 83-160.978-3-8325-1600-0http://hdl.handle.net/10230/34286In this chapter, we provide an overview of state-of-the-art algorithms for the automatic description of music audio signals, both from a low-level perspective (focusing on signal characteristics) and a more musical perspective (focusing on musically meaningful dimensions). We also provide examples of applications based on this description, such as music identification, music browsing and music signal transformations. Throughout the chapter, a special focus is put on promising research directions.application/pdfeng© Copyright Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH 2008. https://www.logos-verlag.de/cgi-bin/engbuchmid?isbn=1600&lng=eng&id=info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartSound and Music ComputingMusic CognitionAudio Signal ProcessingMachine learninginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
