| Summary: | <p/> <p>Recently, several music information retrieval (MIR) systems which retrieve musical pieces by the user's singing voice have been developed. All of these systems use only melody information for retrieval, although lyrics information is also useful for retrieval. In this paper, we propose a new MIR system that uses both lyrics and melody information. First, we propose a new lyrics recognition method. A finite state automaton (FSA) is used as recognition grammar, and about <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-6180-2007-038727-i1.gif"/></inline-formula> retrieval accuracy was obtained. We also develop an algorithm for verifying a hypothesis output by a lyrics recognizer. Melody information is extracted from an input song using several pieces of information of the hypothesis, and a total score is calculated from the recognition score and the verification score. From the experimental results, 95.0 <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-6180-2007-038727-i2.gif"/></inline-formula> retrieval accuracy was obtained with a query consisting of five words.</p> |
