Abstract

In this paper we describe a system for content-based retrieval of audio clips from a large unstructured database. The system allows users to devise their own sound taxonomies for organizing sounds. An active learning algorithm for Support Vector Machines (SVM) is used for reducing the effort of annotating sounds in the database.
