Title
ANNOTATING MUSIC COLLECTIONS: HOW CONTENT-BASED SIMILARITY HELPS TO PROPAGATE LABELS
Abstract
In this paper we present a way to annotate music collec- tions by exploiting audio similarity. Similarity is used to propose labels (tags) to yet unlabeled songs, based on the content-based distance between them. The main goal of our work is to ease the process of annotating huge music collections, by using content-based similarity distances as a way to propagate labels among songs. We present two different experiments. The first one propagateslabelsthatarerelatedwiththestyleofthepiece, whereas the second experiment deals with mood labels. On the one hand, our approach shows that using a mu- sic collection annotated at 40% with styles, the collection can be automatically annotated up to 78% (that is, 40% already annotated and the rest, 38%, only using propaga- tion), with a recall greater than 0.4. On the other hand, for a smaller music collection annotated at 30% with moods, the collection can be automatically annotated up to 65% (e.g. 30% plus 35% using propagation).
