Abstract

The problem of the automatic recognition of a melody similarity is considered. A special data set with a number of different artificial modifications of original melodies was created to test several classification algorithms. The best algorithm (J48) was chosen to carry out a wider analysis. The results showed that the melody similarity can be described mathematically.
