Abstract:

With the large amounts of multimedia data produced, recorded and made available every day, there is a clear need for well-performing automatic indexing and search methods. This paper describes a music genre classification system, which was a winning solution in the Music Information Retrieval ISMIS 2011 contest. The system consisted of a powerful ensemble classifier using the Error Correcting Output Coding coupled with an original, multi-resolution clustering and iterative relabelling scheme. The two approaches used together outperformed other competing solutions by a large margin, reaching the final accuracy close to 88%. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
