Abstract In this article, a heuristic version of Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) named FastMap is used for audio retrieval and browsing. FastMap, like MDS, maps objects into an Euclidean space, such that similarities are preserved. In addition of being more efficient than MDS it allows query-by-example type of query, which makes it suitable for a content-based retrieval purposes.
