SIMAC
Semantic Interaction with Music Audio Contents

SIMAC's main task was the development of prototypes for the automatic generation of semantic descriptors and development of prototypes for exploration, recommendation, and retrieval. One special feature was the development and use of semantic descriptors. That is, ways to tag music that are close to the user's way of describing its contents. We developed tools to be used by music consumers, music distributors, and music creators.
