Machine leaning algorithm for data classification.
- by twk
Hi all,
I'm looking for some guidance about which techniques/algorithms I should research to solve the following problem. I've currently got an algorithm that clusters similar-sounding mp3s using acoustic fingerprinting. In each cluster, I have all the different metadata (song/artist/album) for each file. For that cluster, I'd like to pick the "best" song/artist/album metadata that matches an existing row in my database, or if there is no best match, decide to insert a new row.
For a cluster, there is generally some correct metadata, but individual files have many types of problems:
Artist/songs are completely misnamed, or just slightly mispelled
the artist/song/album is missing, but the rest of the information is there
the song is actually a live recording, but only some of the files in the cluster are labeled as such.
there may be very little metadata, in some cases just the file name, which might be artist - song.mp3, or artist - album - song.mp3, or another variation
A simple voting algorithm works fairly well, but I'd like to have something I can train on a large set of data that might pick up more nuances than what I've got right now. Any links to papers or similar projects would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
