Integrating Convexity and Compactness into the ISSM: Melodic Analysis of Music
Aline Honingh, Tillman Weyde · City Research Online (City University London) · 2008
This paper reports on a short project that aimed to integrate two mathematical measures, convexity and compactness, into the ISSM, a model for music analysis. The measures convexity and compactness have been successfully used before in music informatics research. It turned out that the combination of these two tools has not been as successful as initially hoped for, and therefore the project has been aborted. We report here on the methods and give a rationale for not pursuing this project any further.
