“…Several alignment algorithms for MIR have been proposed (e.g. [1,15,52]) which, sometimes, derive from general string and sequence alignment/similarity algorithms [31,65,69]. In cover song identification, dynamic programming [31] is a routinely employed technique for aligning two representations and automatically discovering their local correspondences [4,20,25,28,29,35,43,49,55,74,76,78,79,89].…”
