SoundCompass: A Practical Query-by-Humming System

Summary: SoundCompass enables query-by-humming for music retrieval with time normalization, timeseries scalability, and subsequence matching. It uses vector-based features and k-NN with multi-dimensional indices for accurate similarity search, validated on real data. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
