Abstract

This paper describes a method for a WWW-based melody-retrieval system, takes a melody sung by a user as a search clue and sent over the Internet and uses it to retrieve the song's title from a music database of standard MIDI files(SMF). It was difficult to build a melody-retrieval service with a large database and with a lot of user accesses since it was quite difficult to build a system which could achieve both quick search and high matching accuracy. We propose a method of a scalable melody-retrieval system which achieves 70% matching accuracy against more than 20, 000 pieces of music and its search time is within a few seconds.
