Abstract(in English) This paper presents a statistical approach to unsupervised music understanding. Our goal is to estimate musical notes from music audio signals and induce music grammars from the estimated notes by formulating a unified hierarchical Bayesian model consisting of probabilistic acoustic and language models. Given music audio signals, both models are jointly trained in a self-organizing manner. In this paper, we introduce our nonparametric Bayesian acoustic and language models for multipitch analysis and chord progression analysis. We then explain how to unify those models in a hierarchical Bayesian manner.
