Clustering Music Recordings Based on Genres 2061 2 . Problem Formulation

چکیده
Existing systems for automatic genre classification follows a supervised framework that extracts genre-specific information from manually-labeled music data and then identifies unknown music data. However, such systems may not be suitable for personal music management, because manually labeling music based on individually-defined genres can be labor intensive and subject to inconsistence from time to time. In this paper, we study an unsupervised paradigm for music genre classification. It is aimed to partition a collection of unknown music recordings into several clusters such that each cluster contains recordings in only one genre, and different clusters represent different genres. This enables users to organize their personal music database without needing specific knowledge about genre. This study investigates how to measure the genre similarities between music recordings and estimate the number of genres in a music collection. Our experiment results show the feasibility of clustering music recordings by genre.

Unsupervised Music Genre Classification with a Model-Based Approach
New music genres emerge constantly resulting from the influence of existing genres and other factors. In this paper we propose a data-driven approach which is able to cluster and classify music samples according to their type/category. The clustering method uses no previous knowledge on the genre of the individual samples or on the number of genres present in the dataset. This way, music taggin...
متن کاملMusical Bass-Line Pattern Clustering and Its Application to Audio Genre Classification
This paper discusses a new approach for clustering musical bass-line patterns representing particular genres and its application to audio genre classification. Many musical genres are characterized not only by timbral information but also by distinct representative bass-line patterns. So far this kind of temporal features have not so effectively been utilized. In particular, modern music songs ...

In this paper we present the Latin Music Database, a novel database of Latin musical recordings which has been developed for automatic music genre classification, but can also be used in other music information retrieval tasks. The method for assigning genres to the musical recordings is based on human expert perception and therefore capture their tacit knowledge in the genre labeling process. ...

Abstract—Music brings people together, it allows us to experience the same emotions. Currently musical genre classification is done manually and requires even the trained human ear considerable effort. Therefore, clustering songs automatically and then drawing valuable insights from those clusters is an interesting problem and can add great value to music information retrieval systems. Most of ...
متن کاملClustering Music by Genres Using Supervised and Unsupervised Algorithms
This report describes classification methods that recognize the genres of music using both supervised and unsupervised learning techniques. The five genres, classical(C), EDM(E), hip-hop(H), jazz(J) and rock(R), were examined and classified. As a feature selection method, discrete Fourier transform (DFT) converted the raw wave signals of each song into the signal amplitude ordered by their freq...
