Musical Genre Classification by Instrumental Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automatic musical genre classification is very useful for many musical applications. In this paper, the features of instrument distribution and instrument-based notes are proposed to represent the high-level characteristics of music. Experimental results show that the proposed features have a good performance in musical genre classification. Comparison between our proposed features with the commonly used features --Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and MFCC with energy term illustrates that our proposed features perform better in discriminating some musical genres, such as Pop, Jazz, and Rock.

Musical genre classification of audio signals
Musical genres are categorical labels created by humans to characterize pieces of music. A musical genre is characterized by the common characteristics shared by its members. These characteristics typically are related to the instrumentation, rhythmic structure, and harmonic content of the music. Genre hierarchies are commonly used to structure the large collections of music available on the We...

متن کاملAutomatic Genre Classification as a Study of the Viability of High-Level Features for Music Classification
This paper examines the potential of high-level features extracted from symbolic musical representations in regards to musical classification. Twenty features are implemented and tested by using them to classify 225 MIDI files by genre. This system differs from previous automatic genre classification systems, which have focused on low-level features extracted from audio data. Files are classifi...
متن کاملGenre Classification and the Invariance of MFCC Features to Key and Tempo
Musical genre classification is a promising yet difficult task in the field of musical information retrieval. As a widely used feature in genre classification systems, MFCC is typically believed to encode timbral information, since it represents short-duration musical textures. In this paper, we investigate the invariance of MFCC to musical key and tempo, and show that MFCCs in fact encode both...
متن کاملSemi-Supervised Classification of Musical Genre using Multi-View Features
Musical genre classification is a key problem in multimedia information retrieval. Traditional musical genre classification methods are complete supervised, i.e., large amount of annotations are needed. In addition, if more than one feature sets are used, they are simply concatenated to form a long feature vector, which is sometimes problematic. To solve these problems, we introduce to use mult...
