Main Abstract:
Digital music has become prolific in the web in recent decades. Automated recommendation systems are essential for users to discover music they love and for artists to reach appropriate audience. When manual annotations and user preference data is lacking (e.g. for new artists) these systems must rely on content based methods. Besides powerful machine learning tools for classification and retrieval, a key component for successful recommendation is the audio content representation. Good representations should capture informative musical patterns in the audio signal of songs. These representations should be concise, to enable efficient (low storage, easy indexing, fast search) management of huge music repositories, and should also be easy and fast to compute, to enable real-time interaction with a user supplying new songs to the system. Before designing new audio features, we explore the usage of traditional local features, while adding a stage of encoding with a pre-computed codebook and a stage of pooling to get compact vectorial representations. We experiment with different encoding methods, namely the LASSO, vector quantization (VQ) and cosine similarity (CS). We evaluate the representations' quality in two music information retrieval applications: query-by-tag and query-by-example. Our results show that concise representations can be used for successful performance in both applications. We recommend using top-τ VQ encoding, which consistently performs well in both applications, and requires much less computation time than the LASSO.

[1]: Automatic event detection in a large collection of unconstrained videos is a challenging and important task. The key issue is to describe long complex video with high level semantic descriptors, which should find the regularity of events in the same category while distinguish those from different categories. This paper proposes a novel unsupervised approach to discover data-driven concepts from multi-modality signals (audio, scene and motion) to describe high level semantics of videos. Our methods consists of three main components: we first learn the low-level features separately from three modalities. Secondly we discover the data-driven concepts based on the statistics of learned features mapped to a low dimensional space using deep belief nets (DBNs). Finally, a compact and robust sparse representation is learned to jointly model the concepts from all three modalities. Extensive experimental results on large in-the-wild dataset show that our proposed method significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

[2]: This paper concerns the development of a music codebook for summarizing local feature descriptors computed over time. Comparing to a holistic representation, this text-like representation better captures the rich and time-varying information of music. We systematically compare a number of existing codebook generation techniques and also propose a new one that incorporates labeled data in the dictionary learning process. Several aspects of the encoding system such as local feature extraction and codeword encoding are also analyzed. Our result demonstrates the superiority of sparsity-enforced dictionary learning over conventional VQ-based or exemplar-based methods. With the new supervised dictionary learning algorithm and the optimal settings inferred from the performance study, we achieve state-of-the-art accuracy of music genre classification using just the log-power spectrogram as the local feature descriptor. The classification accuracies for benchmark datasets GTZAN and IS-MIR2004Genre are 84.7 and 90.8 , respectively.

[3]: Feature extraction is a crucial part of many MIR tasks. In this work, we present a system that can automatically extract relevant features from audio for a given task. The feature extraction system consists of a Deep Belief Network (DBN) on Discrete Fourier Transforms (DFTs) of the audio. We then use the activations of the trained network as inputs for a non-linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. In particular, we learned the features to solve the task of genre recognition. The learned features perform significantly better than MFCCs. Moreover, we obtain a classification accuracy of 84.3 on the Tzanetakis dataset, which compares favorably against state-of-the-art genre classifiers using frame-based features. We also applied these same features to the task of auto-tagging. The autotaggers trained with our features performed better than those that were trained with timbral and temporal features.

[4]: We present a content-based automatic tagging system for music that relies on a high-level, concise “Bag of Systems” (BoS) representation of the characteristics of a musical piece. The BoS representation leverages a rich dictionary of musical codewords, where each codeword is a generative model that captures timbral and temporal characteristics of music. Songs are represented as a BoS histogram over codewords, which allows for the use of traditional algorithms for text document retrieval to perform auto-tagging. Compared to estimating a single generative model to directly capture the musical characteristics of songs associated with a tag, the BoS approach offers the flexibility to combine different generative models at various time resolutions through the selection of the BoS codewords. Additionally, decoupling the modeling of audio characteristics from the modeling of tag-specific patterns makes BoS a more robust and rich representation of music. Experiments show that this leads to superior auto-tagging performance.

[5]: This paper concerns the development of a music dictionary-based model for summarizing local feature descriptors computed over time. Comparing to a holistic representation, this text-like, bag-of-frames representation better captures the rich and time-varying information of music. However, the dictionary used in classical bag-of-frames model only captures frame-level elements of the music; thus, there exists a semantic gap between the dictionary element and commonly seen music description. In order to reduce the gap, a new feature representation called dual-layer bag-of-frames is proposed in this paper. It models the music with a two layer structure, where the first-layer dictionary captures the frame-level characteristics, and the second-layer dictionary captures the segment-level semantics. This hierarchical structure resembles the alphabet-word-document structure of text. Our result demonstrates that the proposed dual-layer bag-of-frames feature achieves state-of-the-art accuracy of music genre classification. The classification accuracy for the GTZAN benchmark reaches 86.7 with dictionary trained from GTZAN, and 83.6 with dictionary trained from another data set USPOP.
Heterogeneous and multi-layer systems have been proposed. The bag of systems approach combined various generative models as codewords ( [4] ). Multi-modal signals (audio and image) were combined in a single framework ( [1] ). Even the codebook training scheme, which was usually unsupervised, was combined with supervision to get a boosted representation for a specific application ( [1] [2] ). Deep belief networks were used in [3] , also combining unsupervised network weights training with supervised fine tuning. [2]1 audio features were processed in two layers of encoding with codebooks.
