Genre-oriented Organization of Music Collections Using the SOMeJB System: An Analysis of Rhythm Patterns and Other Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the advent of larger electronic music repositories, the automatic organization of music into different genre categories is receiving increased attention. The creation of such genre hierarchies, as well as ways for providing useful interfaces to these, poses an interesting challenge. With the SOM-enhanced JukeBox (SOMeJB) system we developed an approach for automatically organizing pieces of music in raw audio format according to their perceived sound similarity based on Rhythm Patterns. This paper reviews the SOMeJB system and presents performance evaluations of the resulting hierarchical genre clusters. We furthermore compare the Rhythm Pattern based clustering with cluster structures obtained from other sets of features employed for genre-based music analysis. We demonstrate results based on a collection of about 24 hours of music.

The SOM-enhanced JukeBox: Organization and Visualization of Music Collections Based on Perceptual Models
The availability of large music repositories calls for new ways of automatically organizing and accessing them. While artist-based listings or title indexes may help in locating a specific piece of music, a more intuitive, genre-based organization is required to allow users to browse an archive and explore its contents. So far, however, these organizations following musical styles have to be de...
متن کاملMarsyas and Rhythm Patterns: Evaluation of two music genre classification systems
Within the last years several technologies for automatic genreor content-based music classification have been developed. Two of them are the Rhythm Patterns, which were developed by Andreas Rauber et al. within the SOMeJB system, and the MARSYAS system by George Tzanetakis. While delivering promising results, none of them can at present be regarded as perfect. This paper describes the evaluatio...

This paper discusses an approach for the feature extraction for audio genre classification and many other tasks of music information retrieval (MIR). Many musical genres are characterized not only by timbral information but also by temporal features such as rhythm patterns and bass-line patterns. In particular, modern music pieces mostly have certain fixed rhythm and bass-line patterns per genr...
