Learning Outcomes

Audio Classification

• Have a basic applied understanding of various supervised learning algorithms such as naive bayes, support vector machines, neural networks and decision trees.

• Understanding of how they can be applied to MIR tasks such as genre classification and instrument classification.

Tagging

• Understanding of the different ways tags for describing music tracks can be obtained (surveys, games with a purpose, auto-tagging).

• Ability to formulate and understand auto-tagging as a machine learning problem and understand how it is evaluated.

Regression and Clustering

• Understanding of the basic concepts behind regression and clustering.

• Understanding of how these techniques can be applied for mood and emotion analysis of music signals.
