Discovery of mediating association rules for folk music analysis
Kerstin Neubarth, Colin G. Johnson, Darrell Conklin · 2013
Many folk music collections are organised by parallel on- tologies of geographical regions and folk music genres. When folk music corpora are used in music data mining, genres and regions are gener- ally analysed separately. This study proposes a descriptive rule mining method for discovering patterns which link genre and region rules. Given pairwise associations between music content features, genres and regions, the method identies combinations of content{region, content{genre and region{genre rules such that the content{region rule may be redundant.
