Abstract

Genre classification of audio files has many applications such as recommendation systems, Digital Signal Processing. Missing data in audio files is very common in real world applications. In this project a novel approach has been implemented to study the impact of missing data on genre classification using deep learning. Convolutional Neural Network is a very powerful deep learning algorithm which is very popular in classification tasks. The dataset used is the GTZAN dataset containing 1000 audio samples from 10 genres. In this project, three experiments were run, first the CNN model using the VGG16 architecture was trained on the GTZAN dataset and then two models were implemented on the two processed GTZAN dataset where segments were removed from the dataset to make new, shorter datasets. Surprisingly, the model showed no downgrade in performance on the processed dataset and thus, the conclusion was reached that missing data need not be very crucial in achieving genre classification.
