Content-Based Information Fusion for Semi-Supervised Music Genre Classification

In this paper, we propose an information fusion framework for the semi-supervised distance-based music genre classification problem. We make use of the regularized least-square framework as the basic classifier, which only involves the similarity scores among different music tracks. We present a similarity score that multiplies different scores based on different distance measures. Particularly the distance measures are not restricted to the Euclidean distance. By adding a weight to each single distance based score, we propose an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm to adaptively learn the fusion scores. Experiments on real music data set show that our approach can give promising results.

Temporal Integration for Audio Classification With Application to Musical Instrument Classification

Nowadays, it appears essential to design automatic indexing tools which provide meaningful and efficient means to describe the musical audio content. There is in fact a growing interest for music information retrieval (MIR) applications amongst which the most popular are related to music similarity retrieval, artist identification, musical genre or instrument recognition. Current MIR-related classification systems usually do not take into account the mid-term temporal properties of the signal (over several frames) and lie on the assumption that the observations of the features in different frames are statistically independent. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of the information carried by the evolution of these characteristics over time. To that purpose, we propose a number of methods for early and late temporal integration and provide an in-depth experimental study on their interest for the task of musical instrument recognition on solo musical phrases. In particular, the impact of the time horizon over which the temporal integration is performed will be assessed both for fixed and variable frame length analysis. Also, a number of proposed alignment kernels will be used for late temporal integration. For all experiments, the results are compared to a state of the art musical instrument recognition system.     

基于节奏和韵律调制谱特征的音乐流派分类

音乐主要包括形成节奏的冲击成分和形成韵律的和声成分,直接从音乐信号中提取特征会受到这2种成分相互影响。利用节奏与和声在时频平面具有不同规律的特点,通过对音乐信号进行谱图滤波,分离出音乐中的打击成分与和声成分。对打击与和声谱图分别进行小波调制,得到表现音乐节奏和韵律谱规律的调制谱特征,将其作为音乐流派分类中的长时特征。仿真实验结果表明,分离后的打击与和声成分谱图清晰地表征了音乐节奏和韵律的特点和规律;对8类音乐流派提取打击与和声调制谱特征,经线性鉴别分析降维后利用支持向量机进行分类,分类准确率达到73.54%。

Classification by Feature Partitioning

This paper presents a new form of exemplar-based learning, based on a representation scheme called feature partitioning, and a particular implementation of this technique called CFP (for Classification by Feature Partitioning). Learning in CFP is accomplished by storing the objects separately in each feature dimension as disjoint sets of values called segments. A segment is expanded through generalization or specialized by dividing it into sub-segments. Classification is based on a weighted voting among the individual predictions of the features, which are simply the class values of the segments corresponding to the values of a test instance for each feature. An empirical evaluation of CFP and its comparison with two other classification techniques that consider each feature separately are given.

Multiclass MTS for Simultaneous Feature Selection and Classification

Multiclass Mahalanobis-Taguchi system (MMTS), the extension of MTS, is developed for simultaneous multiclass classification and feature selection. In MMTS, the multiclass measurement scale is constructed by establishing an individual Mahalanobis space for each class. To increase the validity of the measurement scale, the Gram-Schmidt process is performed to mutually orthogonalize the features and eliminate the multicollinearity. The important features are identified using the orthogonal arrays and the signal-to-noise ratio, and are then used to construct a reduced model measurement scale. The contribution of each important feature to classification is also derived according to the effect gain to develop a weighted Mahalanobis distance which is finally used as the distance metric for the classification of MMTS. Using the reduced model measurement scale, an unknown example will be classified into the class with minimum weighted Mahalanobis distance considering only the important features. For evaluating the effectiveness of MMTS, a numerical experiment is implemented, and the results show that MMTS outperforms other well-known algorithms not only on classification accuracy but also on feature selection efficiency. Finally, a real case about gestational diabetes mellitus is studied, and the results indicate the practicality of MMTS in real-world applications.

Combined SVM-Based Feature Selection and Classification

Feature selection is an important combinatorial optimisation problem in the context of supervised pattern classification. This paper presents four novel continuous feature selection approaches directly minimising the classifier performance. In particular, we include linear and nonlinear Support Vector Machine classifiers. The key ideas of our approaches are additional regularisation and embedded nonlinear feature selection. To solve our optimisation problems, we apply difference of convex functions programming which is a general framework for non-convex continuous optimisation. Experiments with artificial data and with various real-world problems including organ classification in computed tomography scans demonstrate that our methods accomplish the desired feature selection and classification performance simultaneously.

基于角度特征的分类网络

卷积神经网络(Convolutional Neural Networks,CNN)在图像分类任务中的卓越表现,使得其被广泛应用于计算机视觉的各个领域。图像分类模型精度与效率的提升,除了归功于网络结构的改变外,还有很大一部分原因来自于归一化技术以及分类损失函数的改进。在人脸识别任务中,随着精度的不断提升,分类损失函数从Softmax Loss到Triplet Loss,又从L-Softmax Loss到Arcface Loss,度量方式从几何度量发展到角度度量。度量方式的改变实际上是特征形式的变化,即特征形式从一般特征转变为角度特征。在Mnist数据集上,使用角度度量损失函数训练得到的特征点呈角度分布,同时准确率比几何度量高;将角度度量方式用更直接的角度特征来表示,训练得到的同类特征点呈直线分布,准确度也比一般角度度量更高。这不禁令人思考,在CNN分类模型中是否可以使用角度特征来代替一般特征。在CNN分类模型中,其主要架构往往由多个卷积层和一个或多个全连接层组成,通过统一卷积层与全连接层的归一化操作,得到角度卷积层与角度全连接层。在普通分类网络的基础上,用角度卷积层替换卷积层,用角度全连接层替换全连接层,可以得到一个由角度特征组成的角度分类网络。在Cifar-100数据集上,基于ResNet-32构造的角度分类网络相比原分类网络,分类准确率提高了2%,从而论证了角度特征在分类网络中的有效性。
