"MIREX 2007: Combining Audio And Symbolic Descriptors For Music Classification From Audio."
, vol. MIREX 2007 - Music Information Retrieval Evaluation eXchange, MIREX Genre Classification Contest., pp. . Vienna, Austria (2007)
Abstract:
Recent research in music genre classification hints at a
glass ceiling being reached using timbral audio features.
To overcome this, the combination of multiple different
feature sets bearing diverse characteristics is needed. We
propose a new approach to extend the scope of the features:
We transcribe audio data into a symbolic form using
a transcription system, extract symbolic descriptors from
that representation and combine them with audio features.
With this method, we are able to surpass the glass ceiling
and to further improve music genre classification.
