  • Patent number: 12626718
    Abstract: A cover song identification method implemented by a computing system comprises receiving, by a computing system and from a user device, harmonic pitch class profile (HPCP) information that specifies one or more HPCP features associated with target audio content. A major chord profile feature and a minor chord profile feature associated with the target audio content are derived from the HPCP features. Machine learning logic of the computing system determines, based on the major chord profile feature and the minor chord profile feature, a relatedness between the target audio content and each of a plurality of audio content items specified in records of a database. Each audio content item is associated with cover song information. Cover song information associated with an audio content item having a highest relatedness to the target audio content is communicated to the user device.
