Abstract: Gamakas, the embellishments and ornamentations used to enhance musical experience, are defining features of Karnatic Music (KM). The appropriateness of using gamaka is determined by aesthetics and is often developed by musicians with experience. Therefore, understanding and modeling gamaka is a significant bottleneck in applications like music synthesis, automatic accompaniment, etc. in the context of KM. To this end, we propose to learn both the presence and the type of gamaka in a data-driven manner using annotated symbolic music. In particular, we explore the efficacy of three classes of features - note-based, phonetic and structural - and train a Random Forest Classifier to predict the existence and the type of gamaka. The observed accuracy is ?70% for gamaka detection and ?60% for gamaka classification. Finally, we present an analysis of the features and find that frequency and duration of the neighbouring notes prove to be the most important features. � 2018 International Speech Communication Association.
