Towards Efficient Music Genre Classification Using Fastmap
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic genre classification aims to correctly categorize an unknown recording with a music genre. Recent studies use the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence to estimate music similarity then perform classification using k-nearest neighbours (k-NN). However, this approach is not practical for large databases. We propose an efficient genre classifier that addresses the scalability problem. It uses a combination of modified FastMap algorithm and KL divergence to return the nearest neighbours then use 1NN for classification. Our experiments showed that high accuracies are obtained while performing classification in less than 1/20 second per track.

متن کاملMusic Genre Classification using Machine Learning Techniques
Categorizing music files according to their genre is a challenging task in the area of music information retrieval (MIR). In this study, we compare the performance of two classes of models. The first is a deep learning approach wherein a CNN model is trained end-to-end, to predict the genre label of an audio signal, solely using its spectrogram. The second approach utilizes hand-crafted feature...
متن کاملMusic Genre Classification Using Temporal Information and Support Vector Machine
This paper proposes a novel content-based music genre classification method using temporal information and support vector machine. By processing of texture window statistics and delta computation, temporal information is incorporated to capture the time-varying behavior of music. 7 different temporal evolution descriptors applied in texture window are introduced in this paper, i.e., mean, stand...
متن کاملTowards Characterisation of Music via Rhythmic Patterns
A central problem in music information retrieval is finding suitable representations which enable efficient and accurate computation of musical similarity and identity. Low level audio features are ideal for calculating identity, but are of limited use for similarity measures, as many aspects of music can only be captured by considering high level features. We present a new method of characteri...
