Abstract

This paper describes a music type recognition system that can be used to index and search in multimedia databases. A new approach to temporal structure modeling is supposed. The so called ETM-NN (explicit time modelling with neural network) method uses abstraction of acoustical events to the hidden units of a neural network. This new set of abstract features representing temporal structures, can be then learned via a traditional neural networks to discriminate between different types of music. The experiments show that this method outperforms HMMs significantly.
