Abstract

In this paper, an abstract model to predict the genre of a music audio file is proposed (specifically a wave file). The output of the model is the probability distribution along the considered genres. A machine learning approach is employed. The adaptive learning process is modeled by neural networks with back-propagation as its learning algorithm and cross entropy as its optimization function. The emphasis is on feature extractors since the learning paradigm is well known to other applications. Simple Analysis on the Features were performed for appropriate selection.
