Classification of musical genre: a machine learning approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the impact of machine learning algorithms in the development of automatic music classification models aiming to capture genres distinctions. The study of genres as bodies of musical items aggregated according to subjective and local criteria requires corresponding inductive models of such a notion. This process can be thus modeled as an example-driven learning task. We investigated the impact of different musical features on the inductive accuracy by first creating a medium-sized collection of examples for widely recognized genres and then evaluating the performances of different learning algorithms. In this work, features are derived from the MIDI transcriptions of the song collection.

Introduction The computer classification of musical audio is an important task in music information retrieval (MIR). Classification is a standard machine-learning task that typically involves predicting an output (for example, the name of an appropriate musical genre) from an input (for example, an audio file stored on a computer). Unsurprisingly, music classification is a hard task. For one th...

Constructing robust categorical and typological classifiers, i.e., finding auditory constructs utilized for describing music categories, is an important problem in music genre classification. Supervised methods such as support vector machine (SVM) achieve state of the art performance for genre classification but suffer from over-fitting on training examples. In this paper, we introduce a superv...
