Abstract

In this paper, we define the key segment of a popular song as the most impressive part in this song. It can be regarded as a perfect index or summary for this song, therefore it is much helpful for popular song´s audition and management. We propose an effective algorithm for automatic key segment extraction based on the analysis of positive and negative samples of key segment extracted manually from a training database. An experiment is carried on a test database including 130 popular songs. Compared with manually extraction of key segments, the proposed algorithm has a rather satisfying performance.
