일부 음악 장르분류에 관한 기존 연구에서는 특징 추출을 위한 구간 선택 시 사람이 직접 음악의 주요 구간을 지정하는 방법을 사용하였다. 이러한 방법은 분류 성능이 좋은 반면 수작업으로 인한 부담으로 새롭게 등록되는 음악들에 대해 지속적으로 적용하기가 곤란하다. 이러한 이유로 최근 음악 장르 분류와 관련된 연구에서는 자동으로 추출구간을 선정하는 방법을 사용하고 있는데 이러한 연구의 대부분이 고정된 구간 (예, 30초 이후의 30초 구간)에서 특징을 추출하는 관계로 분류의 정확도가 떨어지는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 음악 전체 구간에 대하여 반복구간을 파악하고, 그 중 음악을 대표할 수 있는 단일 대표구간을 선정한 후, 대표구간으로 부터 특징을 추출하여 장르 분류 시스템에 적용하는 방법을 제안하였다. 실험 결과, 기존 고정구간을 사용한 방법에 비해 괄목할 만한 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 사용자가 음악을 직접 선곡하지 않고 락, 트로트, 댄스, 힙합, 발라드 등 5가지의 장르 중 사용자가 선호하는 음악의 장르를 추천하는 시스템을 구현하였다. 실시간으로 연주되는 음악에서 Bass Drum 신호를 추출ㆍ분석하여, 기본적으로 한 마디에 소요되는 시간, 주법, 진폭 등 세가지 파라메터를 이용하여 5가지 장르로 분류하였다 선택 곡 수와 들은 시간으로 퍼지 추론을 통해 각 장르에 대한 사용자 만족도를 평가한다. 평가된 만족도에 의해 사용자가 선호하는 장르의 음악을 제공하는 시스템을 제안한다.

Musical genre is indispensible in constructing music information retrieval system, such as music search and classification. In general, the spectral characteristics of a music signal are obtained based on a subband decomposition to represent the relative distribution of the harmonic and the non-harmonic components. In this paper, we investigate the subband decomposition parameters in extracting features, which improves musical genre classification accuracy. In addition, the linear projection methods are studied to reduce the resulting feature dimension. Experiments on the widely used music datasets confirmed that the subband decomposition finer than the widely-adopted octave scale is conducive in improving genre-classification accuracy and showed that the feature-dimension reduction is effective reducing a classifier's computational complexity.

This paper proposes an automatic equalizer control method in automobile audio system. The proposed method discriminates the music segment from the consecutive real-time audio stream of the radio and the equalizer is controlled automatically according to the classified genre of the music segment. For enhancing the accuracy of the music genre classification in real-time, timbre feature and rhythm feature extracted from the consecutive audio stream is applied to GMM(Gaussian mixture model) classifier. The proposed method evaluates the performance of the music genre classification, which classified various audio segments segmented from the audio signal of the radio broadcast in automobile audio system into one of five music genres.

Music recordings have been digitalized such that huge size of music database is available to the public. Thus, the automatic classification system of music genres is required to effectively manage the growing music database. Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) is a popular feature vector for genre classification. In this paper, the combined super-vector with Decorrelated Filter Bank (DFB) and Octave-based Spectral Contrast (OSC) using texture windows is processed by Support Vector Machine (SVM) for genre classification. Even with the lower order of the feature vector, the proposed super-vector produces 4.2 % improved classification accuracy compared with the conventional Marsyas system.

This paper proposes an automatic genre classification system for Korean traditional music. The Proposed system accepts and classifies queried input music as one of the six musical genres such as Royal Shrine Music, Classcal Chamber Music, Folk Song, Folk Music, Buddhist Music, Shamanist Music based on music contents. In general, content-based music genre classification consists of two stages - music feature vector extraction and Pattern classification. For feature extraction. the system extracts 58 dimensional feature vectors including spectral centroid, spectral rolloff and spectral flux based on STFT and also the coefficient domain features such as LPC, MFCC, and then these features are further optimized using SFS method. For Pattern or genre classification, k-NN, Gaussian, GMM and SVM algorithms are considered. In addition, the proposed system adopts MFC method to settle down the uncertainty problem of the system performance due to the different query Patterns (or portions). From the experimental results. we verify the successful genre classification performance over $97{\%}$ for both the k-NN and SVM classifier, however SVM classifier provides almost three times faster classification performance than the k-NN.

In some previous works on musical genre classification, human experts specify segments of a song for extracting musical features. Although this approach might contribute to performance enhancement, it requires manual intervention and thus can not be easily applied to new incoming songs. To extract musical features without the manual intervention, most of recent researches on music genre classification extract features from a pre-determined part of a song (for example, 30 seconds after initial 30 seconds), which may cause loss of accuracy. In this paper, in order to alleviate the accuracy problem, we propose a new method, which extracts features from representative segments (or main theme part) identified by structure analysis of music piece. The proposed method detects segments with repeated melody in a song and selects representative ones among them by considering their positions and energies. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly improve the accuracy compared to the approach using a pre-determined part.

Music markets have entered the era of streaming. In order to select and propose music that suits the taste of music consumers, there is an active demand and research on an automatic music genre classification system. We propose a method to improve the accuracy of genre unclassified songs, which was a lack of the previous system, by using a generative adversarial network (GAN) to further develop the automatic voting system for deep learning music genre using Softmax proposed in the previous paper. In the previous study, if the spectrogram of the song was ambiguous to grasp the genre of the song, it was forced to leave it as an unclassified song. In this paper, we proposed a system that increases the accuracy of genre classification of unclassified songs by converting the spectrogram of unclassified songs into an easy-to-read spectrogram using GAN. And the result of the experiment was able to derive an excellent result compared to the existing method.

Various research studies are underway to explore music classification by genre. Because sound professionals define the criterion of music to categorize differently each other, those classification is not easy to come up clear result. When a new genre is appeared, there is onerousness to renew the criterion of music to categorize. Therefore, music is classified by emotional adjectives, not genre. We classified music by light and shade in precedent study. In this paper, we propose the music classification system that is based on emotional adjectives to suitable search for atmosphere, and the classification criteria is three kinds; light and shade in precedent study, intense and placid, and grandeur and trivial. Variance Considered Machines that is an improved algorithm for Support Vector Machine was used as classification algorithm, and it represented 85% classification accuracy with the result that we tried to classify 525 songs.

본 논문에서는 음악 장르 분류를 위한 시간 및 주파수 기반 스파이크그램 특성 추출 기술을 제안한다. 기존의 음악 장르 분류 시스템에서는 푸리에 변환 기반의 입력 특성을 주로 사용해 왔다. 푸리에 변환은 시간 축에서 프레임 단위로 평균적인 주파수 정보를 취하므로 낮은 시간 해상도를 갖지만, 스파이크그램은 샘플 단위의 주파수 정보를 갖고 있어 고해상도의 특성을 추출할 수 있다. 제안하는 기술은 이러한 시간 기반 특성을 추출하여 주파수 기반 특성 및 SNR 특성과 함께 심층 신경망의 입력으로 사용한다. 제안하는 특성을 사용하여 시간 기반 특성을 사용하지 않은 기존 스파이크그램 특성 기반 분류기의 성능을 개선하였으며, 다른 특성 및 분류기에 비해 적은 수의 특성 입력으로도 우수한 성능을 얻는 것을 확인하였다.
