Abstract

In this paper, we present a novel feature extraction method facilitating efficient content-based music retrieval and classification, called InMAF. The goal of our approach is to allow straightforward incorporation of multiple musical features, such as timbral texture, pitch and rhythm structure, into a single low dimensional vector that is effective for retrieval and classification. Unlike earlier approaches that used only acoustic properties as the basis for retrieval, our approach can easily incoporate human music perception to improve accuracy of retrieval and classification process. The superiority of our method is demonstrated by comparing it with state-of-the-art approaches in the areas of music classification (using a variety of machine learning algorithms), query effectiveness and robustness against audio distortion.
