Rag Classification of Tagore Songs using Symbolic Music Notation and Novel Weighted Distance Measures

- 基于乐谱符号构建标注数据集,将拉格识别转为监督分类问题。
- 新提出的加权欧氏距离提升分类准确率,更关注特征音阶序列。
- 适合对印度古典音乐、音乐信息检索感兴趣的学者与开发者。
泰戈尔歌曲(Rabindra Sangeet)融合了印度古典拉格、孟加拉民谣、塔帕、克尔坦、鲍尔音乐及西方旋律,具有独特的音乐地位。尽管许多歌曲被泰戈尔本人或权威记谱传统标记了拉格类别,但因创作自由度高,拉格识别仍具挑战性。本文将拉格识别建模为监督分类任务,使用来自Swarabitan的歌曲乐谱符号数据。由于缺乏大规模标注音频或乐谱数据,本研究构建了一个带拉格标签的符号数据集。研究比较了欧氏距离与余弦相似性,并提出一种加权欧氏距离,赋予特征音阶序列(如上行/下行音阶)更高权重。在k近邻框架中,该方法更有效捕捉拉格特有的旋律特征,显著提升分类性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Rabindra Sangeet, the body of songs written and composed by Rabindranath Tagore, occupies a distinctive position in Indian music by combining poetic expression with melodic ideas drawn from Hindustani rags, Bengali folk traditions, tappa, kırtan, Baul music, and Western tunes. Although many Tagore songs are associated with rag labels provided by Tagore himself or preserved in authoritative notational traditions, rag identification remains challenging because the songs often reflect creative freedom rather than strict adherence to classical rag grammar. This paper formulates rag identification in Rabindra Sangeet as a supervised classification problem using symbolic music-sheet notations from Swarabitan. Since large-scale annotated audio or music datasets for Rabindra Sangeet are not readily available, this study constructs a rag-labelled symbolic dataset from notated Tagore songs. The work investigates Euclidean distance and cosine similarity for rag classification and introduces a weighted Euclidean distance measure that assigns greater importance to notes belonging to characteristic rag sequences such as arohana and avarohana. Applied within a k-nearest-neighbour framework, the proposed measure improves rag classification by better capturing rag-specific melodic identity.
