2005:Audio Artist Identification Results

From MIREX Wiki

Introduction[edit]

These are the results for the 2005 running of the Audio Artist Identification task.

Goal[edit]

To identify artist from music audio (in PCM format).

Datasets[edit]

Two sets of data were used: Magnatune and USPOP. The audio sampling rates used were either 44.1 KHz or 22.05 KHz (mono). More data information is in the following table.

Dataset Size (@ 44.1 KHz) Number of Training Files Number of Testing Files
Magnatune 35.2 GB 1158 642
USPOP 37.3 GB 1158 653
