Structuring of Multimedia-Collections and Attribute Extraction

Recently, music became available in digital form via the internet. Due to the properties of audio data collections new methods of computer-aided retrieval are necessary. Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is a very active research area coping with the development of intelligent retrieval methods for digital audio data. Machine learning can make an important contribution in order to

• allow the automatic classification of music stiles, artists, instruments,....
• ease the development of intuitive interfaces for music search and presentation
• allows the development of intelligent search engines which are able to suggest new and interesting pieces to users.
