In Search of a Mapping from Parameter Space to Perceptual Space

A methodology for the implementation of automated content-based searching (ACS) of digital music is presented. The proposed method maps a predefined parameter space to a psychoacoustic perceptual space defined by musical experts. This mapping enables content-based searching of music in a single-ended fashion. The results are based on a corpus of music in excess of 115 000 songs.
