In this project, we propose a novel method called Discovery of Musical DNA for Music Recognition and Retrieval to clarify the diverse relations between music contents and music concepts. Behind the proposed method, our intent is to perform effective music recognition and music retrieval by mining the special acoustic-genes from the music contents. The major techniques proposed in this project are: (1) Generation of musical DNA, (2) A music recognition technique based on musical DNA, (3) Integrations and applications of the proposed techniques and music box. Through the integration of the above techniques, the content- and concept-aware music acquisition system can be achieved. Moreover, the techniques and systems developed in this project will be transferred to the industry as collaborations. Therefore, this research is expected to produce significant contributions to our country in the field of music information systems.

In the experiments, the evaluation results reveal our proposed method performs more promising than the traditional methods on three datasets, namely vocal, instrument and combination of vocal and instrument data.

系統將整合上述技術成為一套支援網際網路架構之音樂註解與搜尋服務系統，並實際導入應用於行車音響、個人手持裝置與線上音樂服務。
