Abstract

Effects of input representation on self-organizing and bottom-up model of chord schema were investigated. A single layer self-organizing map was trained with 12 major and 12 minor chords. Training was repeated five times, each time with a different input representation. In this model, activation of chords is determined by the representation and activation of pitches that compose the chords. Important findings of chord perception were simulated with this model. Simulation results showed that input representation was critical to simulate all of the findings.
