  <h1>Applications</h1>

  <p>
    Essentia has served in a large number of research activities conducted at<a href="http://mtg.upf.edu"> Music Technology Group</a> since 2006.
    It has been used for music classification, semantic auto-tagging, music similarity and recommendation, visualization and interaction with music,
    sound indexing, musical instruments detection, cover detection, beat detection, and acoustic analysis of stimuli for neuroimaging studies.
  </p>
  <p>
    A list of highlighted academic publications using Essentia can be found <a href="research_papers.html">here</a>.
  </p>
  <p>
    Essentia and Gaia have been used extensively in a number of research projects, software and industrial applications. We highlight some of them below.

        Both Essentia and Gaia libraries are employed for large-scale indexing and content-based search of sound recordings within&nbsp;<a href="http://freesound.org">Freesound.org</a>, a popular repository of Creative Commons licensed audio samples. In particular, Freesound uses audio based similarity to recommend sounds similar to user queries.&nbsp;The Essentia extractor used for this functionality is in&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/MTG/essentia/tree/master/src/examples/freesound">here</a>. Also through the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.freesound.org/docs/api/">Freesound API</a>&nbsp;the individual analysis descriptors of a sound can be accessed.
