Building a Music Genre Classifier That Actually Understands Sound

6 minute read

Published:

After 18 years of pursuing music, I’ve developed an ear for what makes genres distinct. It’s not just the obvious markers—tempo, instrumentation, vocal style. It’s the subtle stuff: the way tension builds in a Carnatic raga versus a jazz standard, the textural differences between layered synthesizers in electronic music versus acoustic instruments in folk, the non-linear patterns that define a sound but resist simple categorization.

Treating Goals Like Sprints: An Agile Approach to 2026

Published:

January is a fascinating time of year. Coffee shops fill with people journaling their dreams, gym parking lots overflow with fresh determination, and social media buzzes with declarations of transformation. There’s something genuinely hopeful about it—this collective belief that a new calendar year means a clean slate, a chance to finally become the person we’ve been meaning to be.

Decoding Human Emotions: Analyzing Multi-channel EEG Data Using LSTM Networks

Published in International Conference on Data Science and Applications (ICDSA 2024), 2024

This study aims to understand and improve the predictive accuracy of emotional state classification through metrics such as valence, arousal, dominance, and likeness by applying a long short-term memory (LSTM) network to analyze EEG signals.

Meta-learning in Audio and Speech Processing: An End to End Comprehensive Review

Published in International Conference on Multi-disciplinary Trends in Artificial Intelligence (MIWAI 2024), 2024

This survey overviews various meta-learning approaches used in audio and speech processing scenarios. Meta-learning is used where model performance needs to be maximized with minimum annotated samples, making it suitable for low-sample audio processing.
