Abstract

Music carries multilayer information which forms different structures. The information embedded in the music can be categorized into time information, harmony/melody, music regions, music similarities, song structures and music semantics. In this chapter, we first survey existing techniques for the music structure information extraction and analysis. We then discuss how the music structure information extraction helps develop music applications. Experimental studies indicate that the success of long term music research is based on how well we integrate domain knowledge of relevant disciplines such as musicology, psychology and signal processing.
