The document describes a study on music genre classification using explicit semantic analysis and sparsity-eager support vector machines. The study aims to address challenges in music genre classification by developing a method that represents low-level audio features as high-level concepts. The proposed method uses explicit semantic analysis with term frequency-inverse document frequency weighting to represent Mel frequency cepstral coefficient features of music clips as concept vectors. A sparsity-eager support vector machine classifier is then trained on the concept-based representation of the training data to classify music clips by genre. Experimental results on a benchmark music dataset show the proposed method achieves higher classification accuracy compared to using the low-level audio features directly.
