Automatic singing evaluating system based on acoustic features and rhythm

Abstract

This paper proposes an automatic singing evaluation system. The system provides the user with the score that was assessed by acoustic features and the rhythmic similarity between the original song and the user input. The assessment system is divided into two stages. In the first stage, acoustic similarities are measured by dynamic time warping (DTW). In the second stage, the rhythmic similarity is measured by analysing the optimal path of DTW by quadratic polynomial regression. Finally, the similarity of two stages is combined into one score by corresponding weights. The experimental results show the good performance for the automatic singing evaluation system.
