Abstract

Although technologies of both low-level and high-level descriptors for music information retrieval (MIR) are advancing, there are some essential deficiencies while utilizing them separately. In this paper we propose a model where the low-level and high-level descriptors collaborate to support semantics-based MIR. The ontology of “Music Scene” domain is constructed as a demonstration, and a set of domain related low-level and high-level descriptor analyses are introduced. Given the domain ontology and the analysis results as input, an abduction process is adopted to compute the semantics-based interpretations. Evaluations show that the collaborative model does not only give a better recall rate of semantics-based retrieval than separated models, but also maintains a promising precision meanwhile.
