Partial signal extraction for mobile media players

Published: 24 November 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Audio signal properties can provide a media player with highly descriptive feature sets in order to intelligently select similar songs for a music stream. A well-known problem among researchers in music information retrieval, however, is that extracting signal properties requires a significant amount of computational resources, thus making it impractical for even the most advanced mobile media players. Although other approaches to retrieving data are possible, local extraction still has unique benefits. Using a combination of machine learning and profiling techniques, this paper presents an initial evaluation of partial signal extraction, which reduces resource requirements by locally collecting signals from parts of a song rather than all. Our preliminary experiments suggest that this idea can offer significantly lower resource requirements while losing marginal song information.
