Music Feature Classification Based on Recurrent Neural Networks with Channel Attention Mechanism

Abstract

With the advancement of multimedia and digital technologies, music resources are rapidly increasing over the Internet, which changed listeners’ habits from hard drives to online music platforms. It has allowed the researchers to use classification technologies for efficient storage, organization, retrieval, and recommendation of music resources. The traditional music classification methods use many artificially designed acoustic features, which require knowledge in the music field. The features of different classification tasks are often not universal. This paper provides a solution to this problem by proposing a novel recurrent neural network method with a channel attention mechanism for music feature classification. The music classification method based on a convolutional neural network ignores the timing characteristics of the audio itself. Therefore, this paper combines convolution structure with the bidirectional recurrent neural network and uses the attention mechanism to assign different attention weights to the output of the recurrent neural network at different times; the weights are assigned for getting a better representation of the overall characteristics of the music. The classification accuracy of the model on the GTZAN data set has increased to 93.1%. The AUC on the multilabel labeling data set MagnaTagATune has reached 92.3%, surpassing other comparison methods. The labeling of different music labels has been analyzed. This method has good labeling ability for most of the labels of music genres. Also, it has good performance on some labels of musical instruments, singing, and emotion categories.

Prediction Model of Music Popular Trend Based on NNS and DM Technology

“…Gan proposed that with the development of science and technology and social productivity, we will predict the popularity and universality of music through information technology. This is a scientific and effective judgment basis for senior musicians who judge pop singers and predict dark horses based on rich personal experience [10]. Zhang proposed that since everyone's favorite music may span several styles, various online radio stations need to collect most people's preferences for different music, and they need to be divided into various types of music according to the style of pop music [11].…”

Improved Double‐Layer Structure Multilabel Classification Model via Optimal Sequence and Attention Mechanism

“…In recent years, transformer-style models achieved many good results in various tasks. Subsequently, attention mechanisms have become more common and are widely used in classifcation tasks, such as sentiment classifcation [29], musical instrument recognition [30], visual recommender systems [31], multilabel text classifcation [32], and multiple protein subcellular location prediction [33].…”
