Description
Summary:Automatic music genre classification has long been an important problem. However, there is a paucity of literature that addresses the issue, and in addition, reported accuracy is fairly low. In this paper, we present empirical study of a novel music descriptor generation method for efficient content based music genre classification. Analysis and empirical evidence demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in the areas including accuracy of genre classification with various machine learning algorithms, efficiency on training process. Furthermore, its effectiveness is robust against various kinds of audio alternation.
