** Description 
============================================================
This is our submission to the 2016 MIREX melody extraction task.
The algorithm is a classification based approach using deep neural networks.
The file 'main.py' is the main function for calling the algorithm. 
It takes as parameter, input the full path string for the input file and output file.

============================================================
** Use 
============================================================
The algorithm is called as follows: 

(to call from the command line)
>>python main.py <parameter> <input path> <ouput path>
ex) >>python main.py 0.2 '/home/keums/Melody/dataset/adc2004_full_set/file/pop3.wav' './SAVE_RESULTS/pop3.txt'

or

(to call from the shell)
>>main(param = 0.2, PATH_LOAD_FILE='/home/keums/Melody/dataset/adc2004_full_set/file/pop4.wav', PATH_SAVE_FILE='./SAVE_RESULTS/pop4.txt')

** default param = 0.2, 
if the voice recall rate is low, increaing the param would be effective (0 <= param <= 1 )
