Music artist style identification by semi-supervised learning from both lyrics and content

Published:10 October 2004Publication History

ABSTRACT

Efficient and intelligent music information retrieval is a very important topic of the 21st century. With the ultimate goal of building personal music information retrieval systems, this paper studies the problem of identifying "similar" artists using both lyrics and acoustic data. The approach for using a small set of labeled samples for the seed labeling to build classifiers that improve themselves using unlabeled data is presented. This approach is tested on a data set consisting of 43 artists and 56 albums using artist similarity provided by All Music Guide. Experimental results show that using such an approach the accuracy of artist similarity classifiers can be significantly improved and that artist similarity can be efficiently identified.
