ABSTRACT
Recognition of folk dances i.e. classification of dance videos according to the specific dance depicted can be considered a challenging sub task within the general activity recognition area because of the large number of different dances, the similarities among them and the different styles a dance can be performed. A method able to identify various folk dances is very important for analyzing and annotating multimedia databases of such dances thus helping the preservation of folk dance culture. In this paper, we deal with recognition of Greek folk dances. Clustering is applied on input features to extract a codedbook and a bag of words approach is applied. An SVM classifier is used for the classification. Two state of the art methods for feature extraction are used and compared. The method is applied on two folk dances from the Western Macedonia region.

A Bag of Words approach for recognition of Greek folk dances
SETN '16: Proceedings of the 9th Hellenic Conference on Artificial IntelligenceIn this paper we explore the problem of distinguishing Greek folk dances from other kinds of activities, as well as from other dance genres, using video recordings. For this purpose, we adopt dense trajectories descriptors along with a Bag of Words (BoW)...
Emotion Recognition of Chinese Traditional Folk Music using an Assembling Machine Learning Method
ICMLT '22: Proceedings of the 2022 7th International Conference on Machine Learning TechnologiesVarious papers published recently about the emotion of western pop music, none have looked into how to describe Chinese traditional folk music. The accuracy of existing algorithms in recognizing emotions in Chinese traditional folk music is just 42%. ...
