A study of HDPGMM music representation learning Author Kim, Jaehun (TU Delft Multimedia Computing) Liem, C.C.S. (TU Delft Multimedia Computing) Date 2022 Abstract In the previous decade, Deep Learning (DL) has proven to be one of the most effective machine learning methods to tackle a wide range of Music Information Retrieval (MIR) tasks. It offers highly expressive learning capacity that can fit any music representation needed for MIR-relevant downstream tasks. However, it has been criticized for sacrificing interpretability. On the other hand, the Bayesian nonparametric (BN) approach promises similar positive properties as DL, such as high flexibility, while being robust to overfitting and preserving interpretability. Therefore, the primary motivation of this work is to explore the potential of Bayesian nonparametric models in comparison to DL models for music representation learning. More specifically, we assess the music representation learned from the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Gaussian Mixture Model (HDPGMM), an infinite mixture model based on the Bayesian nonparametric approach, to MIR tasks, including classification, auto-tagging, and recommendation. The experimental result suggests that the HDPGMM music representation can outperform DL representations in certain scenarios, and overall comparable.
