Abstract This paper presents the Automatic Genre Classification of Indian Tamil Music and Western Music using Timbral and Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) based Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) features. The classifier model for the proposed system has been built using K-NN (K-Nearest Neighbours) and Support Vector Machine (SVM). In this work, the performance of various features extracted from music excerpts has been analysed, to identify the appropriate feature descriptors for the two major genres of Indian Tamil music, namely Classical music (Carnatic based devotional hymn compositions) & Folk music and for western genres of Rock and Classical music from the GTZAN dataset. The results for Tamil music have shown that the feature combination of Spectral Roll off, Spectral Flux, Spectral Skewness and Spectral Kurtosis, combined with Fractional MFCC features, outperforms all other feature combinations, to yield a higher classification accuracy of 96.05%, as compared to the accuracy of 84.21% with conventional MFCC. It has also been observed that the FrFT based MFCC effieciently classifies the two western genres of Rock and Classical music from the GTZAN dataset with a higher classification accuracy of 96.25% as compared to the classification accuracy of 80% with MFCC.

Abstract: As Plato once rightfully said, ‘Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.’ Music has always been an important art form, and more so in today’s science-driven world. Music genre classification paves the way for other applications such as music recommender models. Several approaches could be used to classify music genres. In this literature, we aimed to build a machine learning model to classify the genre of an input audio file using 8 machine learning algorithms and determine which algorithm is the best suitable for genre classification. We have obtained an accuracy of 91% using the XGBoost algorithm. Keywords: Machine Learning, Music Genre Classification, Decision Trees, K Nearest Neighbours, Logistic regression, Naïve Bayes, Neural Networks, Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, XGBoost

Image quality assessment is an important issue in the area of image processing, and the no-reference image quality assessment tries to evaluate the quality of image without the reference image. The present no-reference image quality assessment approach can not predict the quality score accurately. This paper proposes a new image quality assessment approach based on two-dimensional discrete fractional Fourier transform (FRFT). After the image is processed by two dimensional discrete fourier transform, the histogram of FRFT coefficients in different order are modeled by generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD). The parameters of GGD are estimated and the feature vector is formed by parameters of GGD. After that, the image is classified into five distortion type by the trained support vector machine. At last, the quality score is predicted by the trained support vector regression machine. The experiment results show that the performance of proposed method is better than the traditional method.

Objective: Since the adequacy of Learning Objects (LO) is a dynamic concept and changes in its use, needs and evolution, it is important to consider the importance of LO in terms of time to assess its relevance as the main objective of the proposed research. Another goal is to increase the classification accuracy and precision. Methods: With existing IR and ranking algorithms, MAP optimization either does not lead to a comprehensively optimal solution or is expensive and time - consuming. Nevertheless, Support Vector Machine learning competently leads to a globally optimal solution. SVM is a powerful classifier method with its high classification accuracy and the Tilted time window based model is computationally efficient. Results: This paper proposes and implements the LO ranking and retrieval algorithm based on the Tilted Time window and the Support Vector Machine, which uses the merit of both methods. The proposed model is implemented for the NCBI dataset and MAT Lab. Conclusion: The experiments have been carried out on the NCBI dataset, and LO weights are assigned to be relevant and non - relevant for a given user query according to the Tilted Time series and the Cosine similarity score. Results showed that the model proposed has much better accuracy.

Background: Possessions of components, described by their shape and size (S&S), are certainly attractive and has formed the foundation of the developing field of nanoscience. Methods: Here, we study the S&S reliant on electronic construction and possession of nanocrystals by semiconductors and metals to explain this feature. We formerly considered the chemical dynamics of mineral nanocrystals that are arranged according to the S&S not only for the big surface area, but also as a consequence of the considerably diverse electronic construction of the nanocrystals. Results: The S&S of models, approved by using the Fractional Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FFTIR), indicate the construction of CdSe and ZnSe nanoparticles. Conclusion: In order to study the historical behavior of the nanomaterial in terms of S&S and estimate further results, the FFTIR was used to solve this project.
