Co-Training for Classification of Live or Studio Music Recordings

Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC'14)

The fast-spreading development of online streaming services has enabled people from all over the world to listen to music. However, it is not always straightforward for a given user to find the “right” song version he or she is looking for. As streaming services may be affected by the potential dissatisfaction among their customers, the quality of songs and the presence of tags (or labels) associated with songs returned to the users are very important. Thus, the need for precise and reliable metadata becomes paramount. In this work, we are particularly interested in distinguishing between live and studio versions of songs. Specifically, we tackle the problem in the case where very little-annotated training data are available, and demonstrate how an original co-training algorithm in a semi-supervised setting can alleviate the problem of data scarcity to successfully discriminate between live and studio music recordings.
