Abstract

See full text

The invention provides a method and apparatus for automatically generating a summary or key phrase for a song. The song, or a portion thereof, is digitized and converted into a sequence of feature vectors, such mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). The feature vectors are then processed in order decipher the song's structure. Those sections that correspond to different structural elements are then marked with corresponding labels. Once the song is labeled, various heuristics are applied to select a key phrase corresponding to the song's summary. For example, the system may identify the label that appears most frequently within the song, and then select the longest duration of that label as the summary.
