Claims

  1. MIR systems can be classified by specificity: high-specificity systems match instances of audio content, mid-specificity systems match high-level features such as melody, and low-specificity systems match global statistical properties such as genre.
    "Hence, we divide specificity into three broad categories: high-specificity systems match instances of audio signal content; mid-specificity systems match high-level music features, such as melody, but do not match audio content; and low-specificity systems match global (statistical) properties of the query."
