Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Türk Makam Müziği Notaları için Otomatik Ezgi Bölütleme(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014) Bozkurt, Barış; Karaçalı, Bilge; Karaosmanoğlu, M. Kemal; Ünal, ErdemAutomatic melodic segmentation is one of the important steps in computational analysis of melodic content from symbolic data This widely studied research problem has been very rarely considered for Turkish makam music. In this paper we first present test results for state-of-the-art techniques from literature on Turkish makam music data Then, we present a statistical classification-based segmentation system that exploits the link between makant melodies and usul and makam scale hierarchies together with the well-known features in literature. We show through tests on a large dataset that the proposed system has a higher accuracy.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2A Computational Analysis of Turkish Makam Music Based on a Probabilistic Characterization of Segmented Phrases(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015) Bozkurt, Barış; Karaçalı, BilgeThis study targets automatic analysis of Turkish makam music pieces on the phrase level. While makam is most simply defined as an organization of melodic phrases, there has been very little effort to computationally study melodic structure in makam music pieces. In this work, we propose an automatic analysis algorithm that takes as input symbolic data in the form of machine-readable scores that are segmented into phrases. Using a measure of makam membership for phrases, our method outputs for each phrase the most likely makam the phrase comes from. The proposed makam membership definition is based on Bayesian classification and the algorithm is specifically designed to process the data with overlapping classes. The proposed analysis system is trained and tested on a large data set of phrases obtained by transferring phrase boundaries manually written by experts of makam music on printed scores, to machine-readable data. For the task of classifying all phrases, or only the beginning phrases to come from the main makam of the piece, the corresponding F-measures are.52 and.60 respectively.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 8Usul and Makam Driven Automatic Melodic Segmentation for Turkish Music(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2014) Bozkurt, Barış; Karaosmanoglu, M. Kemal; Karaçalı, Bilge; Ünal, ErdemAutomatic melodic segmentation is a topic studied extensively, aiming at developing systems that perform grouping of musical events. Here, we consider the problem of automatic segmentation via supervised learning from a dataset containing segmentation labels of an expert. We present a statistical classification-based segmentation system developed specifically for Turkish makam music. The proposed system uses two novel features, a makam-based and an usul-based feature, together with features commonly used in literature. The makam-based feature is defined as the probability of a note to appear at the phrase boundary, computed from the distributions of boundaries with respect to the piece’s makam pitches. Likewise, the usul-based feature is computed from the distributions of boundaries with respect to beats in the rhythmic cycle, usul of the piece. Several experimental setups using different feature groups are designed to test the contribution of the proposed features on three datasets. The results show that the new features carry complementary information to existing features in the literature within the Turkish makam music segmentation context and that the inclusion of new features resulted in statistically significant performance improvement.
