Claims
-
A single played note can produce substantial energy in the chroma bands of its harmonics, such as the fifth (third harmonic) and the major third (fifth harmonic), which often leads to confusion between major and minor chords.
"This often results in some problem known as major–minor confusion."
-
In general no well-defined ground truth exists for chord recognition, and even music experts may disagree on how to annotate a piece.
"In general, however, no well-defined ground truth exists, and even music experts may disagree on how to annotate a given piece of music."
-
Many recognition errors stem from oversimplified chord models such as the 24 major and minor triads, but enlarging the vocabulary also increases the chance of confusion between chords.
"However, on the downside, increasing the number of possible chords also increases the confusion probability in the classification stage."
