Abstract

With the advancement of communication technologies and Internet, the use of multimedia has increased exponentially. Most of the population switched to smart phones and are always using multimedia data. A large amount of multimedia data resources are freely available nowadays. But, any resource will become useful, only if it can be handled efficiently. A huge amount of audio archives are available in different websites. Different audio archives include music databases, news bulletins, story databases, extempores, audio lectures, and audio interviews. Such audio resources can be efficiently used only if it is possible to efficiently retrieve the exact file from huge archives. Audio search refers to search and retrieval of a particular audio file from an audio database with the help of appropriate query. In this chapter, the task of audio search will be introduced, followed by the details of its classifications, applications, evolution, major milestones, different databases, and different benchmarking platforms.
