Abstract

The advent of internet and the growing number of digital media has increased the necessity of Music Information Retrieval systems within which Music Classification is a prominent task. Here, we present methods to perform genre based classification over five different genre and mood based classification using a mood model that maps mood onto a two-dimensional space along axes of arousal and valence. Support vector machine and a feed-forward artificial neural network are applied to achieve an overall accuracy of 88% for genre based classification and 73% and 67% accuracy for the arousal and valence axes respectively in mood based classification.
