Letter: Humming ahead

Published 7 April 2001

From Alexandra Uitdenbogerd

I was amazed that the article on search engines which can find a tune you hum to them
(17 March, p 34)
didn’t mention the research by anyone who has published
in the field of music information retrieval (MIR).

Perhaps you should point your readers to the following URL for more
cutting-edge research in this field: http: ciir.cs.umass.edu/music2000/.
Information on most MIR research groups and their projects can be found at this
site.
