Probabilistic approaches for music similarity using restricted Boltzmann machines

Full text not available from this repository.
Abstract
In music informatics, there has been increasing attention to relative similarity as it plays a central role in music retrieval, recommendation, and musicology. Most approaches for relative similarity are based on distance metric learning, in which similarity relationship is modelled by a parameterised distance function. Normally, these parameters can be learned by solving a constrained optimisation problem using kernel-based methods. In this paper, we study the use of restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs) in similarity modelling. We take advantage of RBM as a probabilistic neural network to assign a true hypothesis “x is more similar to y than to z” with a higher probability. Such model can be trained by maximising the true hypotheses while, at the same time, minimising the false hypotheses using a stochastic method. Alternatively, we show that learning similarity relations can be done deterministically by minimising the free energy function of a bipolar RBM or using a classification approach. In the experiments, we evaluate our proposed approaches on music scripts extracted from MagnaTagATune dataset. The results show that an energy-based optimisation approach with bipolar RBM can achieve better performance than other methods, including support vector machine and machine learning rank which are the state-of-the-art for this dataset.
