2011:Audio Cover Song Identification Results

From MIREX Wiki

Introduction[edit]

This year, we ran Audio Cover Song (ACS) Identfication with two datasets: Mixed Collection and Sapp's Mazurka Collection.

Mixed Collection Information[edit]

This is the "original" ACS collection. Within the 1000 pieces in the Audio Cover Song database, there are embedded 30 different "cover songs" each represented by 11 different "versions" for a total of 330 audio files (16bit, monophonic, 22.05khz, wav). The "cover songs" represent a variety of genres (e.g., classical, jazz, gospel, rock, folk-rock, etc.) and the variations span a variety of styles and orchestrations.

Using each of these cover song files in turn as as the "seed/query" file, we will examine the returned lists of items for the presence of the other 10 versions of the "seed/query" file.

Sapp's Mazurka Collection Information[edit]

In addition to our original ACS dataset, we used the Mazurka.org dataset put together by Craig Sapp. We randomly chose 11 versions from 49 mazurkas and ran it as a separate ACS subtask. Systems returned a distance matrix of 539x539 from which we located the ranks of each of the associated cover versions.

Friedman's Test for Significant Differences[edit]

The Friedman test was run in MATLAB against the Average Precision summary data over the 30 song groups.
Command: [c,m,h,gnames] = multcompare(stats, 'ctype', 'tukey-kramer','estimate', 'friedman', 'alpha', 0.05);
