Music Classification: Beyond Supervised Learning, Towards Real-world Applications

Understand

Music classification is a music information retrieval (MIR) task to classify music items to labels such as genre, mood, and instruments.

• It is also closely related to other concepts such as music similarity and musical preference.
• In this tutorial, we put our focus on two directions - the recent training schemes beyond supervised learning and the successful application of music classification models.
• The target audience for this web book is researchers and practitioners who are interested in state-of-the-art music classification research and building real-world applications.
