Music information retrieval
Music Information Retrieval [ mjuːzɪkˌɪnfɚˈmeɪʃən ɹɪˈtɹiːvəl ] ( MIR , dt. About music information retrieval) describes an interdisciplinary research direction for the development of methods for the extraction or aggregation of information for data processing. As a sub-area of information retrieval , it includes strategies for searching and finding information in digital environments. The typical practical application for MIR is DJing : the software looks for pairs from thousands of apparently unrelated music tracks that can be easily faded into one another.
Interdisciplinary research approaches
- digital signal processing
A fundamental approach is to extract features from audio files using methods of digital signal processing . Patterns are obtained from the sampled signals, which can be represented mathematically in vectors (so-called feature vectors ) and matrices.
