Music Information Retrieval
Music Information Retrieval [ mju ː ˌ zɪk ɪnfɚmeɪʃən ɹɪtɹi vəl ː ] (MIR, dt as music information retrieval ) denotes an interdisciplinary research toward the development of methods for the extraction or aggregation of information for data-related processing. As part of field of information retrieval, it includes strategies of searching and finding of information in digital environments.
Interdisciplinary research approaches
- Digital Signal Processing
A basic approach is to extract about methods of digital signal processing, characteristics of audio files. From the sampled signals pattern are obtained, which can be represented mathematically in vectors ( so-called feature vectors ) and matrices.
