- Arthur Flexer
- Musical genre classification is the automatic classification of
audio signals into user defined labels describing pieces of music.
A problem inherent to genre classification experiments in music
information retrieval research is the use of songs from the same
artist in both training and test sets. We show that this does not
only lead to over-optimistic accuracy results but also selectively
favours particular classification approaches. The advantage of using
models of songs rather than models of genres vanishes when applying
an artist filter. The same holds true for the use of spectral
features versus fluctuation patterns for preprocessing of the audio
files.
