    Audio segmentation using a priori information in the context of Karnatic Music
    (2015) Kalyan, V.A.; Sankaranarayanan, S.; Sumam, David S.
    Karnatic Music (KM) is distinct because of the prevalence of gamaka - embellishments to musical notes in the form of frequency traversals. Another important aspect of KM is that the performance style is mostly extempore. Hence, Music Information Retrieval (MIR) tasks in the context of KM are highly challenging. This paper deals with the task of Audio Segmentation and its application to MIR challenges of KM at various levels. This work presents a method that incorporates a priori knowledge about the music system and the audio track at hand for segmenting the audio into its constituent notes. The method uses amplitude and energy based features to train a neural network and an accuracy of 95.2% has been achieved on KM audio samples. The paper also elucidates the application of the method to important MIR tasks such as Music Transcription and Score-Alignment in the context of KM. � 2015 IEEE.
