Title:


    mHashup: Fast Visual Music Discovery via Locality Sensitive Hashing

Presenter(s):



Description:


    Millions of tracks in music download services pose a problem: how to find “dark media” – those items for which little is known but that users may want to find. The problem is similar for music lawyers and musicologists: how to identify closely matching music fragments in large recorded music collections.

    mHashup is a novel visual interface to large music collections, such as today’s million-song download services, for discovering musical relationships among tracks. Users engage in direct on-screen query and retrieval of music fragments in an instantaneous feedback flow performed by a locality-sensitive hash table in secondary storage.
