Abstract

The paper proposes classification of tabla strokes using multilayer feed forward artificial neural network. It uses 62 features extracted from the audio file as input units to the input layer and 13 tabla strokes as output units in the output layer. The classification has been done using dimension reduction and without using dimension reduction. The dimension reduction has been performed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) which reduced the number of features from 62 to 28. The experiments have been performed on two sets of tabla strokes, which are played by professional tabla players, each comprises of 650 tabla strokes. The results demonstrate that correct classification of instances is more than 98 % in both the cases.
