Original Kurzfassung:
In this paper, we present a technique to automatically create
music maps labeled with semantic descriptors, the so called Music Description
Maps (MDM). Based on a Self-organizing Map (SOM) trained
on audio features, we create term profiles that characterize the type of
music on the clusters. To this end, we efficiently retrieve music-related
term descriptors for the contained artists from the Web. These descriptors
are used in conjuction with a SOM-labeling strategy to identify
words and phrases commonly used in the context of the associated music.
Additionally, regions of similar clusters are uncovered. Music maps
labeled in such are manner can aid the user in retrieving desired music
from a very large repository, either by providing landmarks on the map
or by allowing the formulation of queries consisting of terms describing
the musical content.
