Abstract
With the popularity of multimedia applications, a large amount of music data has been accumulated on the Internet. Automatic classification of music data becomes a critical technique for providing an efficient and effective retrieval of music data. In this paper, we propose a new approach for classifying music data based on their contents. In this approach, we focus on monophonic music features represented as rhythmic and melodic sequences. Moreover, we use repeating patterns of music data to do music classification. For each pattern discovered from a group of music data, we employ a series of measurements to estimate its usefulness for classifying this group of music data. According to the patterns contained in a music piece, we determine which class it should be assigned to. We perform a series of experiments and the results show that our approach performs on average better than the approach based on the probability distribution of contextual information in music.
