Web-Based Artist Categorization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel approach in categorizing artists into subjective categories such as genre. We base our method on co-occurrences on the web, found with the Google search engine. A direct mapping between artists and categories proved to be unreliable. We use the categories mapped to closely related artists to obtain a more reliable mapping. The method is tested on a genre classification test set with convincing results. Moreover, mood categorization is explored using the same techniques.

متن کاملAssigning and Visualizing Music Genres by Web-based Co-Occurrence Analysis
Abstract We explore a simple, web-based method for predicting the genre of a given artist based on co-occurrence analysis, i.e. analyzing co-occurrences of artist and genre names on music-related web pages. To this end, we use the page counts provided by Google to estimate the relatedness of an arbitrary artist to each of a set of genres. We investigate four different query schemes for obtainin...
متن کاملArtist Classification with Web-Based Data
Manifold approaches exist for organization of music by genre and/or style. In this paper we propose the use of text categorization techniques to classify artists present on the Internet. In particular, we retrieve and analyze webpages ranked by search engines to describe artists in terms of word occurrences on related pages. To classify artists we primarily use support vector machines. We prese...
متن کاملUsing Audio Analysis and Network Structure to Identify Communities in On-Line Social Networks of Artists
Community detection methods from complex network theory are applied to a subset of the Myspace artist network to identify groups of similar artists. Methods based on the greedy optimization of modularity and random walks are used. In a second iteration, inter-artist audio-based similarity scores are used as input to enhance these community detection methods. The resulting community structures a...
