Reinhard Lerch 1. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Meinard M¨uller 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Gerhard Widmer Abstract Music constitutes a challenging multimedia scenario. Besides music recordings, there exist a number of other media objects including symbolic music representations, video recordings, scanned sheet music, or textual metadata. Developing tools that allow users to retrieve information from different types of music-related data is central to the research area known as Music Information Retrieval (MIR). This requires techniques from various engineering fields such as digital signal processing, image processing, data management, and machine learning. In this thesis, we develop novel multimedia processing techniques and explore their capabilities and limitations within different complex music scenarios. The thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part, we consider retrieval scenarios within a Western classical music setting. For example, given a short monophonic melodic theme in symbolic notation as a query, retrieve all corresponding documents in a collection of polyphonic music recordings. In another related retrieval scenario, we aim to link the score of musical themes, scanned from book pages, to their symbolic counterparts given in MIDI format.
