How Many Beans Make Five? The Consensus Problem in Music-Genre Classification and a New Evaluation Method for Single-Genre Categorisation Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Genre definition and attribution is generally considered to be subjective. This makes evaluation of any genrelabelling system intrinsically difficult, as the ground-truth against which it is compared is based upon subjective responses, with little inter-participant consensus. This paper presents a novel method of analysing the results of a genre-labelling task, and demonstrates that there are groups of genre-labelling behaviour which are selfconsistent. It is proposed that the evaluation of any genre classification system uses this modified analysis method.

Although the subject poses a well studied task in Music Information Retrieval, some fundamental issues of genre classification have not been covered so far. Especially many modern genres are influenced by manifold musical styles. Most of all, this holds true for the broad category “World M...
متن کاملAssigning and Visualizing Music Genres by Web-based Co-Occurrence Analysis
Abstract We explore a simple, web-based method for predicting the genre of a given artist based on co-occurrence analysis, i.e. analyzing co-occurrences of artist and genre names on music-related web pages. To this end, we use the page counts provided by Google to estimate the relatedness of an arbitrary artist to each of a set of genres. We investigate four different query schemes for obtainin...
متن کاملClustering Music Recordings Based on Genres 2061 2 . Problem Formulation
Existing systems for automatic genre classification follows a supervised framework that extracts genre-specific information from manually-labeled music data and then identifies unknown music data. However, such systems may not be suitable for personal music management, because manually labeling music based on individually-defined genres can be labor intensive and subject to inconsistence from t...
متن کاملAn Association-based Approach to Genre Classification in Music
Music Information Retrieval (MIR) is a multi-disciplinary research area that aims to automate the access to largevolume music data, including browsing, retrieval, storage, etc. The work that we present in this paper tackles a nontrivial problem in the field, namely music genre classification, which is one of the core tasks in MIR. In our proposed approach, we make use of association analysis to...
