Task Description
The goal of our task is to understand how genre classification can explore and address the subjective and culturally-dependent nature of genre categories. Traditionally genre classification is performed using a single source of ground truth with broad genre categories as class labels. In contrast, this task is aimed at exploring how to exploit and combine multiple sources of annotations, each of which are more detailed. Each source has a different genre class space, providing an opportunity to analyze the problem of music genre recognition from new perspectives and with the potential of reducing evaluation bias.
