Barwise Music Structure Analysis with the Correlation Block-Matching Segmentation Algorithm
Résumé
Music Structure Analysis (MSA) is a Music Information Retrieval task consisting of representing a song in a simplified, organized manner by breaking it down into sections typically corresponding to "chorus", "verse", "solo", etc. In this work, we extend an MSA algorithm called the Correlation Block-Matching (CBM) algorithm introduced by (Marmoret et al., 2020, 2022b). The CBM algorithm is a dynamic programming algorithm that segments self-similarity matrices, which are a standard description used in MSA and in numerous other applications. In this work, self-similarity matrices are computed from the feature representation of an audio signal and time is sampled at the bar-scale. This study examines three different standard similarity functions for the computation of self-similarity matrices. Results show that, in optimal conditions, the proposed algorithm achieves a level of performance which is competitive with supervised state-of-the-art methods while only requiring knowledge of bar positions. In addition, the algorithm is made open-source and is highly customizable.
