Automated Determination of Music Genre and Linguistic Categorization

Abstract

The main objective of the project is to build a system that allows users to predict genre as well as language out of some music . The Automated determination of musical genre and linguistic categorization is a machine learning based prediction model which is used to predict the genres and languages of an audio . Musical genres are categorical labels created by humans to characterize piece of music. A musical genre is characterized by common characteristics typically related to the instrumentation, rhythmic structure and harmonic content of the music. The performance and relative importance of the proposed features are investigated by training the statistical pattern recognition classifiers using real world audio collections and using machine learning algorithm.In this project, we built systems called music genre and language classification and the effects of different feature extraction methods and their various combinations were also investigated. This task is of great interest in music information retrieval and recommendation systems. In recent years, several machine learning algorithms have been developed to tackle this task, using features such spectral, temporal, and tonal characteristics of audio signals. Music genre prediction and language classification is a task that involves automatically predicting a piece of music into a specific genre category as well as language based on its audio features.
