MIREX 2010 "MUSIC STRUCTURE SEGMENTATION" TASK: IRCAMSUMMARY SUBMISSION

This extended abstract details a submission to the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX) 2010 for the “Structure Segmentation” task. The system named ircamsummary performs both structure estimation and summary generation. Detailed description of the system can be found in [1] [2] and [3]. We briefly summarized them below. 1. IRCAMSUMMARY IMPLEMENTATION Ircamsummary is both a Matlab-compiled software, a pcode function or a C++ software and library running under Linux, Windows-XP and Mac-OS-X. It performs music structure estimation using the “state” or the “sequence” approach and music audio summary generation using various strategies. Ircamsummary uses the library ircambeat for beat/ downbeat synchronous analysis.
