Abstract:

A method for segmenting musical audio with a hierarchical timbre model is introduced. New evidence is presented to show that music segmentation can be recast as clustering of timbre features, and a new clustering algorithm is described. A prototype thumbnail-generating application is described and evaluated. Experimental results are given, including comparison of machine and human segmentations
