Music Test Database
For the evaluation of music classification tasks we use a database of 120 commercial music albums purchased for our research group. The CDs are distributed among 6 AllMusicGuide genres:
Classic | Electronica | Jazz | Pop/Rock | R&B | Rap | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
CD number | 15 | 15 | 15 | 45 | 15 | 15 |
-
Test set OS120 (optimization set for experiments, with focus on evolutionary multi-objective feature selection)
-
Test set TS120 (song-independent test set from the same albums as OS120 for the evaluation of optimized models)
-
Test set TAS120 (artist-independent test set with the same genre distribution)
The following audio features are used for classification (for definitions and the difference between low-level and high-level features see https://eldorado.tu-dortmund.de/handle/2003/30402)
Instrument Sample Database
Currently, the following instrument samples are used for the experiments on instrument recognition:
