Abstract

In this paper, we propose an effective algorithm to automatically identify and discriminate music content. Linear prediction coefficients, zero crossing rates and mel-frequency cepstral coefficients are calculated to characterize music content. Based on calculated features, support vector machines are applied to obtain the optimal class boundaries between vocal music and pure music by learning from training data. Experimental results of support vector machine learning show good performance in music discrimination and are more advantageous than traditional Euclidean distance based method.
