Music theme recognition using CNN and self-attention
share
We present an efficient architecture to detect mood/themes in music tracks on autotagging-moodtheme subset of the MTG-Jamendo dataset. Our approach consists of two blocks, a CNN block based on MobileNetV2 architecture and a self-attention block from Transformer architecture to capture long term temporal characteristics. We show that our proposed model produces a significant improvement over the baseline model. Our model (team name: AMLAG) achieves 4th place on PR-AUC-macro Leaderboard in MediaEval 2019: Emotion and Theme Recognition in Music Using Jamendo.
