2007:Audio Music Similarity and Retrieval Results
TEMPLATE: NEEDS TO BE UPDATED
Contents
Introduction
These are the results for the 2007 running of the Audio Music Similarity and Retrieval task set. For background information about this task set please refer to the Audio Music Similarity and Retrieval page.
Each system was given 5000 songs chosen from IMIRSEL's "uspop", "uscrap" and "american" "classical" and "sundry" collections. Each system then returned a 5000x5000 distance matrix. 100 songs were randomly selected as queries and the first 5 most highly ranked songs out of the 5000 were extracted for each query (after filtering out the query itself, returned results from the same artist and members of the cover song collection). Then, for each query, the returned results (candidates) from all participants were grouped and were evaluated by human graders using the Evalutron 6000 grading system. Each individual query/candidate set was evaluated by a single grader. For each query/candidate pair, graders provided two scores. Graders were asked to provide 1 categorical score with 3 categories: NS,SS,VS as explained below, and one fine score (in the range from 0 to 10). A description and analysis is provided below.
The systems read in 30 second audio clips as their raw data. The same 30 second clips were used in the grading stage.
Summary Data on Human Evaluations (Evalutron 6000)
Number of evaluators = 20
Number of evaluations per query/candidate pair = 1
Number of queries per grader = 5
Size of the candidate lists = 48.32
Number of randomly selected queries = 100
Number of query/candidate pairs graded = 4832

Broad Categories
NS = Not Similar
SS = Somewhat Similar
VS = Very Similar
Calculating Summary Measures
Fine(1) = Sum of fine-grained human similarity decisions (0-10).
PSum(1) = Sum of human broad similarity decisions: NS=0, SS=1, VS=2.
WCsum(1) = 'World Cup' scoring: NS=0, SS=1, VS=3 (rewards Very Similar).
SDsum(1) = 'Stephen Downie' scoring: NS=0, SS=1, VS=4 (strongly rewards Very Similar).
Greater0(1) = NS=0, SS=1, VS=1 (binary relevance judgement).
Greater1(1) = NS=0, SS=0, VS=1 (binary relevance judgement using only Very Similar).
(1)Normalized to the range 0 to 1.
Overall Summary Results

This figure shows the official ranking of the submissions computed using a Friedman test. The blue lines indicate significance boundaries at the p=0.05 level. As can be seen, the differences are not significant. For a more detailed description and discussion see [1].

Friedman Test with Multiple Comparisons Results (p=0.05)
The Friedman test was run in MATLAB against the Fine summary data over the 100 queries.
Command: [c,m,h,gnames] = multcompare(stats, 'ctype', 'tukey-kramer','estimate', 'friedman', 'alpha', 0.05);
