University of Padua at MusiCLEF 2011: Music Identification Task

This paper reports on the participation of the Information Management System Research Group of the University of Padua to the Music Identication task of the MusiCLEF Laboratory in CLEF 2011. The system under evaluation is FALCON, an open-source engine for content-based cover song identication written in Java that applies classic techniques derived from textual Information Retrieval to music identication. The obtained results show how such approach yields satisfying results using little computational resources.
