• Authors: Yigang Meng
• Abstract summary: This study investigates the performances of three models: a proposed convolutional neural network (CNN), the VGG16 with fully connected layers (FC), and an eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) approach on different features. The results show that the MFCC XGBoost model outperformed the others. Furthermore, applying data segmentation in the data preprocessing phase can significantly enhance the performance of the CNNs.

• Abstract: In recent years, various well-designed algorithms have empowered music platforms to provide content based on one's preferences. Music genres are defined through various aspects, including acoustic features and cultural considerations. Music genre classification works well with content-based filtering, which recommends content based on music similarity to users. Given a considerable dataset, one premise is automatic annotation using machine learning or deep learning methods that can effectively classify audio files. The effectiveness of systems largely depends on feature and model selection, as different architectures and features can facilitate each other and yield different results. In this study, we conduct a comparative study investigating the performances of three models: a proposed convolutional neural network (CNN), the VGG16 with fully connected layers (FC), and an eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) approach on different features: 30-second Mel spectrogram and 3-second Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). The results show that the MFCC XGBoost model outperformed the others. Furthermore, applying data segmentation in the data preprocessing phase can significantly enhance the performance of the CNNs.

  We construct a dataset containing audio samples from music covers on YouTube along with the audio of the original song, and sentiment scores derived from user comments. Our approach involves extensive pre-processing, segmenting audio signals into 30-second windows, and extracting high-dimensional feature representations. We train regression models to predict sentiment scores on a 0-100 scale, achieving root mean square error (RMSE) values of 3.420, 5.482, 2.783, and 4.212, respectively.

  This paper exploits the zero-shot capabilities of pre-trained large language models (LLMs) for music genre classification.
