چکیده

Methods for automatic sound and music classification are of great value when trying to organise the large amounts of unstructured, user-contributed audio content uploaded to online sharing platforms. Currently, most of these methods are based on the audio signal, leaving the exploitation of users’ annotations or other contextual data rather unexplored. In this paper, we describe a method for the automatic classification of audio clips which is solely based on user-supplied tags. As a novelty, the method includes a tag expansion step for increasing classification accuracy when audio clips are scarcely tagged. Our results suggest that very high accuracies can be achieved in tag-based audio classification (even for poorly or badly annotated clips), and that the proposed tag expansion step can, in some cases, significantly increase classification performance. We are interested in the use of the described classification method as a first step for tailoring assistive tagging systems to the particularities of different audio categories, and as a way to improve the overall quality of online user annotations.

Audio Tag Annotation and Retrieval Using Tag Count Information

Audio tags correspond to keywords that people use to describe different aspects of a music clip, such as the genre, mood, and instrumentation. With the explosive growth of digital music available on the Web, automatic audio tagging, which can be used to annotate unknown music or retrieve desirable music, is becoming increasingly important. This can be achieved by training a binary classifier fo...

Mirex 2011: Automatic Audio Tag Classification via Sparse Coding

This extended abstract details our submission to the Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange (MIREX) 2011 for the audio tag classification task. First of all, we extract a fixed-length feature vector (composed of some timbral as well as modulation spectrum features) from each song clip. Then, by using l-reconstruction to represent each test song clip as a linear combination of all train...

Tags Re-ranking Using Multi-level Features in Automatic Image Annotation

Automatic image annotation is a process in which computer systems automatically assign the textual tags related with visual content to a query image. In most cases, inappropriate tags generated by the users as well as the images without any tags among the challenges available in this field have a negative effect on the query's result. In this paper, a new method is presented for automatic image...

Automatic Hashtag Recommendation in Social Networking and Microblogging Platforms Using a Knowledge-Intensive Content-based Approach

In social networking/microblogging environments, #tag is often used for categorizing messages and marking their key points. Also, since some social networks such as twitter apply restrictions on the number of characters in messages, #tags can serve as a useful tool for helping users express their messages. In this paper, a new knowledge-intensive content-based #tag recommendation system is intr...

Are Tags Better Than Audio? The Effect of Joint Use of Tags and Audio Content Features for Artistic Style Clustering

Social tags are receiving growing interests in information retrieval. In music information retrieval previous research has demonstrated that tags can assist in music classification and clustering. This paper studies the problem of combining tags and audio contents for artistic style clustering. After studying the effectiveness of using tags and audio contents separately for clustering, this pap...
