Voice modeling for music information retrieval and human-computer interaction

人声是一种富有表现力和口才的乐器。歌曲和其他人类乐器音乐在许多文化中无处不在，是现代娱乐的主要形式之一。随着互联网音乐分享和销售的兴起，与音乐互动正成为一个巨大的研究课题，但目前的技术往往集中在音色、节奏等音乐听众会考虑的音乐背景特征上。当前流行音乐的很多“内容”都包含在歌手的歌词、表达和风格中。当涉及音高时，通常是器乐音调，而当考虑歌词时，它们通常是文本。

The human voice is an expressive and eloquent musical instrument. Song and other human-instrument music is ubiquitous in many cultures and is one of the primary forms of modern entertainment. With the rise of internet music sharing and sales, interacting with music is becoming a large research topic, but current techniques often concentrate on timbre, rhythm, and other characteristics that music listeners would consider the "background" of the music. Much of the "content" of current popular music is contained in the singer's lyrics, expression and style. When pitch is addressed, it is usually instrumental pitch, and when lyrics are considered, they are usually available as text.
