Classifying Music by Genre Using the Wavelet Packet Transform and a Round-robin Ensemble

چکیده
The vast amount of music available electronically presents considerable challenges for information retrieval. There is a need to annotate music items with descriptors in order to facilitate retrieval. In this paper we present a process for determining the music genre of an item using the Discrete Wavelet Transform and a round-robin classification technique. The wavelet transform is used to extract time and frequency features that are used to classify items by genre. Rather than use a single multi-class classifier we use an ensemble of binary classifiers with each classifier trained on a pair of genres. Our evaluation shows that this approach achieves very high classification accuracy.

متن کاملAn Evaluation of Alternative Feature Selection Strategies and Ensemble Techniques for Classifying Music
Automatic annotation of music files is a key problem in multimedia information retrieval. In this paper we present a solution to this problem that addresses the issues of feature extraction, feature selection and design of classifier. We outline a process for feature extraction based on the discrete wavelet packet transform and we evaluate a variety of wrapper-based feature subset selection str...
متن کاملTime-Space Ensemble Strategies for Automatic Music Genre Classification
In this paper we propose a novel time–space ensemble–based approach for the task of automatic music genre classification. Ensemble strategies employ several classifiers to different views of the problem– space, and combination rules in order to produce the final classification decision. In our approach we employ audio signal segmentation in time intervals and also problem space decomposition. I...
متن کاملAutomatic Music Genre Classification Using Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform and Support Vector Machine
A fast and accurate automatic method for music genre classification is needed to manage a huge number of digital music currently available. However this is a non-trivial task because musical genres remain poorly defined concepts due to subjective human perception. In this experimental study, an attempt to combine Dual Tree Complex Wavelet Transform (DTCWT) based feature and Support Vector Machi...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for Voice Activity Detection Based on Wavelet Packets (RESEARCH NOTE)
Speech constitutes much of the communicated information; most other perceived audio signals do not carry nearly as much information. Indeed, much of the non-speech signals maybe classified as ‘noise’ in human communication. The process of separating conversational speech and noise is termed voice activity detection (VAD). This paper describes a new approach to VAD which is based on the Wavelet ...
