Description

The dataset contains 51582 music tracks (22 music genres) and feature vector after  Principal Component Analysis (PCA) performing, so there are 11-element vectors derived from music excerpts. Originally, a feature vector containing 173 elements was conceived in earlier research studies carried out by the team of authors [1-6]. A collection of more than 50000 music excerpts described with a set of descriptors obtained through the analysis of 30-second mp3 recordings was gathered in a database called SYNAT. The SYNAT database was realized by the Gdansk University of Technology (GUT) [1],[2]. For the recordings included in the database, the analysis band is limited to 8 kHz due to the music excerpts format, this means that the frequency band used for the parameterization is in the range from 63 to 8000 Hz. The prepared feature vector is used to describe parametrically each signal frame. The original database stores 173‑feature vectors, which in majority are the MPEG-7 standard parameters [7], however we used also the so-called 'dedicated' features, described in several publications.

The 173-feature dataset is also available in Most Wiedzy.

173-element vector generates a very large amount of information describing a given track. As a consequence, this leads to an extensive amount of data undergoing classification. Therefore, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to reduce the data redundancy as it transforms a number of possibly correlated variables into a smaller number of variables called principal components. The new components are linear combination of parameters that carry most information about the test set, thus they are no longer refer to descriptors contained in the original feature vector.  The PCA method can shorten the feature vector of 173 elements to 19 components, which significantly reduces the computation time. Furthermore, the use of the described analysis can increase classification efficiency, as shown in an earlier paper [9].

The original 173-element vector has additionally been supplemented with 20 Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC), 20 MFCC variances and 24 time-related ‘dedicated’ parameters. The vector includes parameters associated with the MPEG-7 standard, mel-cepstral (MFCC) parameters and is enlarged by the so-called dedicated parameters which refer to temporal characteristic of the analyzed music excerpt, their names are included in Table 1. The list of parameters and their definitions were shown in the earlier study [10], however, it is worth noting that the proposed FV was used in the ISMIS 2011 contest in which there were over 120 participants [4]. The best contest result returned almost 88% of accuracy [4], and later in the authors’ own study gained even better effectiveness [8].
