MediaEval 2018 AcousticBrainz genre task: A baseline combining deep feature embeddings across datasets

Abstract

In this paper we present a baseline approach for the MediaEval 2018 AcousticBrainz Genre Task that takes advantage of stacking multiple feature embeddings learned on individual genre datasets by simple deep learning architectures. Although we employ basic neural networks, the combination of their deep feature embeddings provides a significant gain in performance compared to each individual network.
