compiam 0.4.1

Common tools for the computational analysis of Indian Art Music.

compIAM v0.4.1

compIAM (computational analysis of Indian Art Music) is a collaborative initiative involving many researchers that aims at putting together a common repository of datasets, tools, and models for the computational analysis of Carnatic and Hindustani music.

You can get started on the Computational Analysis of Indian Art Music through our ISMIR 2022 Tutorial: Computational Methods For Supporting Corpus-Based Research On Indian Art Music.

Installing compIAM

compIAM is registered to PyPI, therefore the latest release can be installed with:

pip install compiam

Nonetheless, to get the latest version of the library with the fresher updates, proceed as follows:

git clone https://github.com/MTG/compIAM.git
cd compIAM

virtualenv -p python3 compiam_env
source compiam_env/bin/activate

pip install -e .
pip install -r requirements.txt

Python version: At this moment, we have successfully tested compiam in python versions: 3.9 - 3.11. Support to py3.8 has been dropped, since it reached end-of-life. Support to 3.12 and 3.13 is coming soon!

Basic usage

Importing the integrated tools

compIAM does not have terminal functionalities but it is to be used within Python based-projects. First, import the library to your Python project with: import compiam.

The integrated tools and models are organized by:

1. The following fundamental musical aspects: melody, rhythm, structure and timbre (in v0.3.0 we are introducing new section, separation)
2. The task these tools tackle.

You can access the several included tools by importing them from their corresponding modules:

from compiam.melody.pitch_extraction import FTANetCarnatic
from compiam.rhythm.transcription import FourWayTabla

TIP: Print out the available tool for each category: compiam.melody.list_tools(). Print out the available tasks for each category: compiam.melody.list_tasks(), and print out the available tools for each module using: compiam.melody.list_tools(). You may also list only the tools for a particular task: compiam.melody.pitch_extraction.list_tools()

Wrappers

compIAM also includes wrappers to easily initialize relevant datasets, corpora, and also pre-trained models for particular problems.

Wrapper	Description	Option list
compiam.load_dataset()	Initializing dataset loaders	Run compiam.list_datasets()
compiam.load_corpora()	Accessing the Dunya corpora	Run compiam.list_corpora()
compiam.load_model()	Initializing pre-trained models	Run compiam.list_models()

Available components

Tools and models

compIAM is structured by the fundamental aspects of music in which we classify the several relevant tasks for the Indian Art Music tradition. Check here the available tools for:

• Melodic analysis
• Rhtyhmic analysis
• Structure analysis
• Timbre analysis
• Music source separation

Accessing the Dunya corpora

We do provide access to the Carnatic and Hindustani corpora in Dunya. For both corpora, there is access to the CC and the non-CC parts. More details on accessing the Dunya corpora are given here.

Dataset loaders

Direct and MIR-standardized access to the datasets for the computational analysis of Indian Art Music is given through mirdata loaders. The current available datasets in compIAM are:

• Saraga Carnatic*
• Saraga Hindustani*
• Indian Art Music Raga Dataset*
• Indian Art Music Tonic Dataset*
• Carnatic Music Rhythm*
• Hindustani Music Rhythm*
• Mridangam Stroke Dataset*
• Carnatic Varnam*
• Four-Way Tabla Stroke (ISMIR 21)
• SCMS (Saraga Carnatic Melody Synth)

The datasets marked with * have been compiled within the framework of the CompMusic project.

Contributing

compIAM is very much open for contributions. You can contribute by:

• Adding new datasets
• Adding tools or models
• Improving the library features
• Writing walkthroughs of the included tools
• Identifying and fixing bugs

Please check the contribution guidelines and get in touch in case you have questions or suggestions.

Example notebooks

We include, in this repo, example notebooks for users to better understand how to use compiam and also showcase
