371kB PDF file)Combining features reduces hubness in audio similarity
- Arthur Flexer, Dominik Schnitzer, Martin Gasser, Tim Pohle
- In audio based music similarity, a well known effect is the existence
of hubs, i.e. songs which appear similar to many other songs without
showing any meaningful perceptual similarity. We verify that this
effect also exists in very large databases (>250000 songs) and that
it even gets worse with growing size of databases. By combining
different aspects of audio similarity we are able to reduce the hub
problem while at the same time maintaining a high overall quality of
audio similarity.
